The sides are cast in relief and inlaid in gold and silver with two bands of taotie masks above pendent blades interrupted by stylized dragon handles on the narrow sides, with a further small handle on the lower body on one side, and with pairs of confronted birds on the neck and spreading foot. All the bands of decoration are divided by flanges, as are those on the facets of the canted cover below the faceted finial.
