This scholar’s box is crafted in a multi-lobed floral form, with a black lacquer ground richly decorated with gilt-painted scenes of deer and cranes amidst a natural landscape. The vigorous deer and graceful cranes symbolize longevity and auspiciousness, while the delicately rendered pines and rocks create refined layers of literati aesthetics. Gilt outlines enhance its elegance and splendor. Serving both as a container for scholar’s desk essentials and as a cultural artifact, this box embodies auspicious symbolism and exquisite craftsmanship, making it a distinguished collectible piece.
