composée de cinq plaques rectangulaires de jade céladon pâle amovibles de la monture en cuivre doré, sculptées dans les angles de chauve-souris encadrant des symboles auspicieux et des swastika, le couvercle sculpté de deux dragons affrontés stylisés, le dessous inscrit d'une marque Qianlong yuzhi apocryphe (7)
Condition
All four plaques forming the sides of the box and the one forming the cover can slide out, and have been inspected out of the metal frame. There are small chips and minute fritts, some of them polished, to the edges of the plaques. The actual colour of the stone is more celadon than the catalogue illustration suggests.
