English: In the very middle of the Chinese treasure bowl is a round “flaming pearl” (火珠) with its flames extending upwards to the top of the rim.

The flaming pearl and other pearls in traditional Chinese symbolism is an ancient symbol of riches but also has the power to grant wishes and is a metaphor for "perfection" and "enlightenment". Chinese dragons are often depicted as “playing” with a flaming pearl.

To the right and left of the pearl are two smaller round objects, with a square hole in the center, which represent traditional Chinese gold coins (金钱).

Directly under each gold coin is a comma-shaped object representing a silver ingot (银锭). Silver ingots were commonly used as money throughout Chinese history, particularly much so during the Mongol Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).

On the side of each gold coin is a branch-like object which is coral (珊瑚). Coral symbolizes longevity, and red coral is considered especially auspicious.

The two objects sticking out of the treasure bowl at the 3 (three) o’clock and 9 (nine) o’clock positions are known as "rhinoceros horns" in traditional Chinese symbolism. The rhinoceros horn (犀角) is a visual pun or rebus for “happiness” (喜) because both words share the same pronunciation xi. A pair of rhino horns in Traditional Chinese symbolism represents “double happiness”, this is why which it is also a traditional Chinese symbol which is used to represent a happy marriage.

At the very bottom of the pile of treasures, and supporting the pearl and silver ingots, is the lotus. This image is featured on the amulet because the Mandarin Chinese word for "lotus flower" (lian hua 莲花) has the same pronunciation as the word “continuous” (lian 连).

The hidden or implied meaning is that the treasures will continue to be produced endlessly.

The treasure bowl on this amulet itself is decorated with a string of seven (7) round “dots” which in ancient Chinese astrology symbolise the seven-star “Big Dipper” constellation (北斗星).
