Although the current box and cover appears to be unique, several other comparable boxes and covers are known and published, all with slightly different designs. A qiangjin and tianqi box (47.8 cm. wide) of similar form incised with a Wanli cyclical mark and decorated
with two dragons centred around a shou character from the Lee Family collection is illustrated in Dragon and Phoenix - Chinese Lacquer Ware, The Lee Family Collection, Tokyo, 1990, no. 82, p. 190-191. Another (36.6 cm. wide), also with Wanli cyclical mark and
decorated with two dragons centred on auspicious emblems, from the Palace Museum, is illustrated in Lacquer Wares of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, The Complete Collection of Treasures from the Palace Museum, Beijing, 2006, no. 177, pp. 224-225.
