Round copper leaf is plated on a wooden board, and the surface is divided into outside and inside parts. Three saint figures in the center, six tools on the table in front, and the lotus pond at the foot are embossed. Each figure has an ornamented canopy. Ornamental rivets are put between the design of outside circles. The rim is bordered, and large ornamental lions are arranged throughout the piece. It is a valuable forerunner of the Muromachi-style hanging shrine, its historical background clarified by an inscription on the back.
