| Reverse description | The reverse presents a fully three-dimensional sculptural composition depicting a traditional Chinese money tree (摇钱树) with branches laden with densely clustered gold coins and ingots rendered in high relief. The gnarled, sweeping trunk rises from a large ornate treasure basin (聚宝盆) decorated with a classical Greek-key border and flanked by dragon-head handles, the basin itself resting on an elaborate footed plinth adorned with elephant-head motifs. The characters 聚寶盆 (Pot of Wealth) are incused on the face of the basin in a recessed panel, while the legend 摇钱树 (Money Tree) appears on a separate cartouche on the plinth below. The entire composition is finished in gold plating with antique highlights to accentuate the sculptural depth. |
