Each treasure is supported by a begonia-shaped red sandalwood base carved with patterns, with gold-based sea water patterns on the surface. A column inlaid with rubies, sapphires and opals is erected on the base, with turquoise-inlaid curling leaves on both sides. On top of the column, there's an oval upward-facing or downward-facing lotus flower adorned with patterns of flying bats and round "shou" (longevity) characters inlaid with coral, lapis lazuli and turquoises, with the wasp waist of the lotus flower ringed with rubies, sapphires, opals, tourmalines etc. A column is erected in the center of the lotus flower, holding one of the gem-inlaid treasures. All seven treasures are decorated with precious stones and turquoise flames at the top. 

The seven treasures of Tibetan Buddhism are seven Buddhist articles presented in front of a Buddha image. They include the Wheel of Dharma, precious treasures, the empress, the minister, an elephant, a horse, and a military officer.
