This box from the Qing Dynasty is crafted in gilt bronze, radiating opulence and imperial grandeur. The lid is adorned with a finely chased design of a lion playing with an embroidered ball, symbolizing prosperity and auspicious blessings for generations. The body is richly inlaid with semi-precious stones such as turquoise, agate, and obsidian, arranged in neat rows, creating a vibrant contrast against the gleaming gilded surface. The intricate combination of repoussé, chasing, and gemstone inlay demonstrates superb craftsmanship. With its rounded form and luxurious decoration, this piece stands as a magnificent example of Qing court artistry, highly prized for both its aesthetic and cultural value.
