The arched shaft has a shaped panel enclosing a bat in flight, suspending from its mouth a beaded chain attached to a wan symbol and to a musical chime, all against a diaper ground. The reverse is carved with an elaborate floral pattern.

Sceptres of this type were presented as gifts on the occasion of a birthday of a member of the imperial family .
