Obverse features two high relief figures flanking the longevity symbol, all within a border of five bats; Reverse: Dog-like mythical beast surmounted by three birds with four others and calligraphy below. The obverse displays original red and blue pigmentation, with an especially vibrant orange hue found in the center longevity symbol. Slightly less pigmentation is found on the reverse, but reds and blues are noticeable around the primary devices. There is some slight residue on the reverse, and an edge nick on the obverse. However, they do little to detract from the handsome and original look to this piece. Original brass rings and hanger at top.
