The central medallion depicts a serene courtyard scene where figures in traditional dress engage in leisurely activities: a seated man appears to be playing a game of Go or tending to a chest, while standing attendants and children look on amidst a landscape of stylized pines and cranes.



The wide rim of the plate is equally ornate, framed by a continuous "running scroll" border and populated with symbolic motifs, including blooming peonies, ripe peaches signifying longevity, and delicate butterflies and dragonflies. Circular shou characters (symbols of long life) are interspersed between the floral vignettes, adding a rhythmic, auspicious quality to the composition. The overall aesthetic is one of elegant contrast, blending the grounded weight of the dark lacquer-like finish with the ethereal, shimmering quality of the metallic illustrations.
