Each side of the outer wall of the basin has a hook cloud pattern to paint the horn to open the light. In the open light, the roe ground is hammered with mythological legend patterns, which are related to the meaning of “prolonging life”. They are “Queen’s Fairy Drive”, “Lao Jun Refines Pills”, “Fairy Picks Peaches”, “Lao Zi Rids an Ox”, “Boy Presents Life”, and “Man Qian (Dongfang Shuo) Steals Peaches”. There is a tenon in the center of the basin and a screw hole, which is connected with the golden tree. The trunk of the golden peach tree is shaped by hammering with gold skin, and the tree is inlaid and welded with three main branches. The leaves are divided into groups, with gold threads entangled and put into the appropriate position of the branches. Each leaf is also carved with leaf ribs as decoration. Peach flowers are all supported by gold pieces, inlaid with rubies as petals and pearls as stamens. The peaches are also welded, and the surface is carved with caviar and longevity patterns. Four butterflies are fixed with gold wire near the top of the branch. The butterfly uses gold as its wings, and the body is made under its wings. It bends the gold wire into feet, tentacles, mouth and other parts. It is exquisite and vivid. In addition, it is bound with elastic gold wire, which moves slightly, sways, and looks like dancing. It has unique ingenuity
This bonsai gold and silver basin is in sharp contrast, and the peach trees are arranged in a dense way. Its workmanship is very exquisite. It is difficult to find the welding trace on the golden tree without a single branch. Although the silver basin is oxidized and blackened for a long time, the pattern of the hammer is extremely exquisite. The theme of this bonsai birthday celebration is distinct, and the gold and silver glow reflect a rich and noble atmosphere.
