The foot of the scroll is wrapped around an ivory roller with ornately

carved end pieces. Wound on to its roller, the scroll sits in a red sandal wood casket which is almost entirely covered with intricate carved designs including plants, flowers, snakes, birds and other animals. There are few unoccupied spaces on either the casket or the scroll.

The lid of the casket is embellished with four Chinese characters Tak Yam Heung Gong (de yin xiang jiang), meaning "Virtue shadows over Hang

salutation and the valediction "Respectfully Yours", which symbolically is in ted signifying truth and sincerity.
