Throughout the surfaces of the finials are decorative elements apparently representing the image of lotus leaves. These surfaces are decorated with vegetal themes in rich, dense detail, penetrating tiny slits and minute points. Bodies supported on stout cylindrical shafts, tapering upward, and similarly decorated. Five chains with bells at their ends are suspended from each of the finial bodies.
