Lid

A rosewood (hung-mu) (C) box with inset of nephrite jade and a (d) lid. Inside the box are a pair of seals made of steatite in the form of horned lions with cubs. The (b) raised seal has nicer calligraphy than the (a) incised seal. The decoration includes a child offering a peach to the sun-god, Lu-hsing, who is pointing at the sun among the clouds. In upper right corner is a bat of happiness, below it is a deer and at the bottom a symbolic fungus.
