Lower half shows to R. a censer with flattened domelike top, from which rises the smoke mentioned above. Below, the censer has a broad overhanging shoulder from which hang bells, and a goblet-shaped body with tapering stem which swells out again to lotus foot ; all is white with details of orn. in black. R. and L. of censer stands a scaly yellow dragon, striding, with one hind claw touching lotus base. Their serpentine necks entwine in elaborate knot in front of censer, and passing behind it take a graceful curve downward and outward on opposite sides of censer, recurving so as to bring their heads facing on opposite sides of censer-top. Their forelegs rest on its shoulder, and their claws are pressed against the dome ; their tails intertwine with each other's necks.

On L. kneel man and woman (donors) on mat in prayer. The man is swarthy, with black hair and beard, white dome-shaped cap with upturned brim, aquiline nose, straight eyes, long belted robe of dark chocolate with white cinquefoil spot pattern ; his general appearance non-Mongolian. The woman is fair-skinned, with black hair dressed high, but broad and flat on top ; cap like button mushroom ; simple ear-ring, and straight eyes. Her robe, red powdered with blue and grey rosettes, is straight and simple, without girdle, and small at wrists. In her hands she holds a long-stemmed flower, pink and green.
