supported on rockwork flanked by two figures on each side, one of Liu Hai with a frog by its side and holding a string of coins, the other holding a broom, and a further figure in front with an incense burner emanating a cloud of smoke with two bats in flight above, the neck with two dragon head handles suspending loose rings, the cover further carved with a bird clutching a lotus stem, the stone of a mottled white with russet-brown, dark and apple-green highlights (2)
