The gold ornament pattern is expressed in a hollow way and is divided into two layers: the inner layer is like a rotating fireball, with twelve tooth-like rays of light equidistantly distributed on the outer edge of the fireball; the outer layer pattern consists of four birds with their heads and feet connected front and back, and four gods. The bird flies around the rotating sun, and the sun in the center shoots out twelve rays of light.

A representative of brilliant achievements.
