The center well is decorated with five Chinese figures on an outdoor pavillion with pagoda-like iron red fence. There is a boy in purple, rose, and blue holding a hat to a figure holding staff; and another boy behind the far left figure is petting or reaching for some pet or toy (now scratched off).
