| Reverse description | A seated, laughing Hotei (the god of good fortune and contentment) depicted in high relief, his large bare belly prominent, holding a fan in his left hand and resting beside a large sack, with the central square hole framed within his body. The figure is rendered with expressive detail and occupies nearly the entire field. |
