The pen is in a cylinder shape, covered in red lacquer, with the the character “shou” carved on the top. Both the cap and body are covered in patterns of clouds with a dragon circling the body through the clouds, vividly depicted in its powerful glory. The fine craftsmanship can be found in the details of the dragon’s exquisitely carved whisker and claws, with the rich color of the lacquer, making this piece full of solemnity and splendidness at the same time.
