The white enameled hand is tattooed with splashes of golden droplets; it wears a bracelet set with diamonds, and a pair of diamond and tourmaline-set rings. The carp’s engraved scales are covered with translucent purple, golden-brown and turquoise enamels. The eyes are composed of rock crystal lenses with pupils set on the reverse and underlaid with radially engraved iris discs of partially oxidized white gold.
