(5.88 x 6.99 x 34.61 cm), Boxwood, China, 17th-18th century, The form of scepter called ruyi (meaning 'as desired' or as 'you wish') is an ancient auspicious symbol that became the mark of a cultivated gentleman. It may have originated as a weapon or as a Buddhist implement, but old paintings often depict scholars holding ruyi scepters while engaged in conversation.
