The reverse depicts the scholars at the end of their journey, seated in an open pavilion between pine, prunus and bamboo, beside steep mountain peaks shrouded by swirling clouds and a waterfall in the distance, the semi-translucent stone has some opaque inclusions well incorporated into the design.
