The pen holder is carved from hardwood, cylindrical and bears three short feet. There are 33 variants of the word “longevity” inscribed in the shade near the mouth, which is the lucky number of “three thirds”. The outer wall is carved with Xianshan Island. Pines and cypresses, plum blossoms, vines, and ganoderma lucidum grow among the rocks. The floating clouds are accompanied by deer and cranes. The Antarctic fairy sat in the cave and spoke. The questioner looked respectful. The base is slightly bulging, carved with dragon dragon pattern, and the three feet are light and plain without pattern
This device is mainly carved and embossed. The carving is simple and powerful, and wins by implication. It has the typical style of Ming Dynasty carving technology
