Inscribed on its front face are the Chinese characters in seal script Taibo Mu (Taibo Tomb), the contours of which are sketched with two concave lines. It is decorated on its rim with patterns of double dragons playing with a pearl and is topped with a crown. On the side facing the east is the Epitaph of Rebuilding Taibo Tomb written by Yang Wen in 1501, the 14th year of Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty. On the side facing the north is the Epitaph of Taibo written by Gao Panlong in 1623, the 3rd year of Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty.
