The bottom is a stand with a decorated edge followed by a section showing six figures, two of whom are shown playing a board game under a tree. Then comes a connecting piece that screws into the the center piece which is an elaborately decorated outside sphere with at least twelve more spheres inside. Then there is a second connecting piece which screws into the ball at the bottom and at the top screws into a carving of three children playing under a lotus bud. |
