Vigorous, sinewy dragons are depicted often on works in porcelain, lacquer, and other materials from the reign of the Yongle emperor. Intended to hold a Buddhist text made in the Chinese handscroll format, elegant boxes like this one were produced both for use at the court and as diplomatic gifts, particularly to Tibet. Although carved lacquers from the period have been preserved in some number, examples decorated in the engraved and gilt technique (qiangjin)\u200a\u2014\u200ain which a pattern carved into a lacquer surface is filled with gold or gold pigment\u200a\u2014\u200aare rare. It is also unusual for the metalwork lock and key to have survived.Free picture Sutra Box with Dragon integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
