The Bounteous and Fertile Garden by Jian Guzhai: A square-shaped, dark-colored plaque with rounded edges. The plaque features a wavy border with four rounded protrusions on each side, each adorned with a design resembling a flower or sunburst. Inside the border, an intricate landscape scene depicts a bridge spanning a body of water. The lower portion shows buildings with tiled roofs, accompanied by trees. The upper part features mountains and additional trees. The plaque appears to have a metallic texture. It is set against a light-colored background.
