The ruyi scepter carved with an auspicious elephant supporting a vase to the head, the shaft carved with stylized shou character and peaches, the reverse inscribed with inscriptions in gilt, fitted with a carved zitan box and cover.

此柄如意以整塊青白玉雕琢而成，質地光潤，器身呈靈芝式，雲葉首，柄身中部隆起，自上而下漸寬，曲線優美。正面浮雕太平有象紋飾，吉祥圖案常畫像馱寶瓶，瓶中還插有花卉作裝飾。“太平有像”也叫“太平景象”、“喜像昇平”，藉以形容河清海晏、民康物阜。而此大象圍以雲氣刻於如意結頭之上，又借《易經》“變化雲為吉事有祥”之句，取吉祥如意以象徵。如意執柄分段作“壽字紋”“蟠桃紋”，刻工精巧細緻，予人富麗雅緻之感。反面刻字“三月六月九月十二月戊巳之日平旦入室向太歲叩齒九通平坐思中央中極玉真黃帝君諱文梁字總歸衣服如法乘黃雲飛輿從黃素玉女十二人下降齋室之內手執通靈黃精玉；符授與兆身兆便服符一枚微祝曰黃帝玉真總御四方周流無極號曰文梁五彩交煥錦帔羅裳上游玉清徘徊常陽九曲華關流看瓊堂乘雲馳轡下降我房授我玉符玉女扶將通靈致真洞達無方八景同輿五帝齊光畢嚥氣十二”。
