Although the carver is unrecorded, the original painting or sketch for the design was by Qian Qinghe (1829-82) who also went by the given name Qinghe. His personal name was Bosheng, and he was a native of Xiushui (present day Jiaxing, Zhejiang). Qian attained the juren degree in the 8th year of the Xianfeng era (1858) and subsequently served as the magistrate of Suzhou and Changzhou. Like his forebears, he excelled at painting, especially prunus blossoms.
