The piece is characterized by a brilliant turquoise-blue ground, which serves as a canvas for intricate floral and scrolling vine motifs. At the center and base are stylized, symmetrical lotus blossoms rendered in a rich palette of deep red, sunny yellow, and royal blue. These central flowers are framed by elegant, dark green ruyi-style scrolls—symbolizing good fortune—outlined in delicate gold-toned brass wire.

The plaque is crafted on a heavy brass or bronze base, visible on the reverse side, which shows a naturally aged, dark patina. Its unique T-shape features scalloped, "bracketed" edges and three small, pre-drilled holes—one at each end of the horizontal bar and one at the bottom—suggesting it was designed to be flush-mounted as a decorative fitting for a wooden cabinet, a jewelry chest, or perhaps a larger architectural screen. The combination of the rigid metal structure and the fluid, colorful enamel creates a balance of durability and refined artistry.
