Fiziksel açıklama
A leafy garland of three chrysanthemums and one lotus in the well surrounds the six bracket open panels enclosing alternate lotuses and chrysanthemums. A similar blue wash reinforces the outline of the panels. Further small waves are enclosed in the free outer space of the brackets. The central small roundel is filled with a peony. Six lotuses in a continuous scroll with spiky leaves and dots decorate the outer well.
