The top surface of the fitted cover is inlaid with an exquisitely depicted pair of confronting crickets above chrysanthemum branches in different materials including painted bone, mother-ofpearl, malachite, agate and amber, below an inscription in silver followed by a square maker’s mark reading Zhou Zhu. The center is pierced in coin-form and surmounted by a circular reticulated dragon-form finial in tinted bone, all surrounded by a raised border and lipped rim. The box is set with a qiyang stone base.
