Treasure Box in Lotus Decor
Ch'ing Dynasty (A.D. 1644-
1911)
Height: 24.3cm
Diameter: 18.6cm
This cylindrical box
is composed of four fan-
shaped sections which form
an ornamental screen when
opened out. The interior
of the piece contains many
small compartments and
levels, some of which are
moveable. Each section is
also fitted with a tiny
drawer which swings out.
This case holds a total of
27 pieces of jade, miniature
scrolls, and tiny albums.
