The two Chinese Export figures stand on green shaped bases and although they are the same subject, they are modeled differently. They have a long green jacket with outlines of plants and butterflies. Around their waist are yellow aprons. One has blue cuffs and the other red. They hold in their right hand a staff with peaches resting on their left shoulder.
