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.
