A CARVED RED LACQUER RECTANGULAR ALBUM BOX AND COVER
18TH CENTURY
The cover is carved on top with two five-clawed dragons contesting a flaming pearl as they writhe amidst dense clouds on either side of a rectangular panel carved with diaper pattern, and the deep sides are carved with large sprays of leafy lotus scroll. The cover sits atop a low base raised on corner supports and carved around the waisted sides with rows of petal lappets below a low-walled compartment covered in black lacquer. The black-lacquered base is incised in a line with a gilt-filled Yongzheng six-character mark.
16 5/8 in. (42.2 cm.) long
