women, and children around a large fishbowl. The landscape has gardens,
water, a bridge, ducks, fish, insects, and various figures in boats,
on land, and holding different types of lanterns and fans. There is
an inner, chain-link border and intricate corner decorations.
The base is bamboo turned wood with fine cross-stretchers and slightly
splayed legs with out-swept feet.
