In his discussion of this rare fly whisk handle in The Literati Mode, 1986, pp. 224-5, Paul Moss compares the carving to that seen on other small ivory scholar's articles that emanated from the palace workshops during the Kangxi period, and suggests that the style of carving was either influenced by the work of the imperial workshops or may have been made in those workshops.
