The large floor screen is composed of two separate floor screens linked in the center. The floor screen depicts two eagles, one on the branch staring down with a snake nearby, and the other on a lower branch staring up towards a bird. The scenes were created with mother of pearl, bone, wood, and other materials. The frames were low relief carved, with flowers, phoenix, and plants patterns.
