Similar examples from the National Museum of History, Taiwan are illustrated in Jade: Ch'ing Dynasty Treasures from the National Museum of History, Taiwan, 1999, Taipei, pl.196 & 197. Compare also a large circular box and cover of similar size, carved with five bats surrounding a Shou character from the Mme. Florence Van der Kemp Collection, sold at Christie's Paris, 13 June 2007, lot 98.

The flawless quality of the stone of the present box and cover is of particular note; the largely uncarved areas emphasize the natural beauty of the high translucent material.
