Boxes made to imitate scrolls were popular in the Qianlong period, and were made in various materials and designs. Compare the scroll-form box made of zitan and inlaid ivory, and the one in carved red lacquer, both in the Palace Museum, Beijing, and illustrated in The Sumptuous Art of Imperial Packaging, Macau, 2000, pp. 30-31, nos. 2 and 3.
