Description:
A Ruyi with three inlays. The head is shaped into a half circle and inlaid with an archaic jade slab. The jade is embossed with two beast's faces, one on top of another, and surrounded by a cloud pattern. The stem in the middle is connected by a rectangular blade from the western Han. The blade is embossed with a drifting cloud pattern. The upper part of the stem is embossed and carved with the pattern of fiery balls where the pattern is inlaid with either gold or silver. The lower part is carved with a silver inscription in li-shu (square-plain style). The inscription writes "to shine with prudence; to rule by gentleness; the virtue of a righteous person." Two gold-inlaid stamps follow the inscription. The stem becomes wider towards the tip, and is inlaid with a slab of fan-shaped jade from the western Han period. The back is engraved with one round stamp and one square stamp, both inlaid with gold. The round stamp is inscribed with "Qian," and the square stamp is inscribed with "long," together means, "Qianlong." The tip is attached with a pair of brown-green tassels, a decorative knot, and two coral beads.
