Miniature cabinets of this type were intended for display on a kang, the raised platform that functioned as a daytime seating area and a bed at night. The present example is distinguished by the lavishly carved dragon design that extends across all visible surfaces, including the sides and the top, an exceptional level of embellishment for cabinets of this scale.
