The decorative program on this lot includes a number of visual puns. Combining a 6303 rooster (gongji) with peonies (fuguihua) represents the sentiment gongming fugui - may you receive official rank and honor.

Finally a large rooster (da gongji) perched on a rock (shi) also becomes a visual metaphor for shishang daji - good fortune in the home.
