A porcelain snake, painted with blue and white plum blossom patterns, is curled delicately around a miniature plum tree branch carved from rose quartz. The snake’s sapphire eyes glimmer faintly, and its tongue is crafted from gold wire. The base is a polished ebony slab etched with swirling wind motifs. The backdrop depicts a classic ink painting of a plum grove in early spring, with flowers blooming amid the fading snow and soft sunlight breaking through the clouds.
