This red lacquer box, crafted on a wooden base with multiple layers of cinnabar lacquer, is formed in the shape of three interlinked ruyi (scepter-heads), symbolizing auspiciousness and fulfillment. The lid is carved in relief with floral medallions, ruyi cloud motifs, and scrolling blossoms, executed with refined carving and clear layers. The sides are further decorated with geometric and cloud scroll designs, enhancing its ornamental appeal. Such carved lacquer boxes were commonly used for storing jewelry, incense, or scholar’s objects, embodying the auspicious wish for happiness and good fortune while reflecting the sophistication of Qing lacquer craftsmanship.
