拍品专文

Travel or carrying boxes such as the present example were used as portable chests for scholars, officials or doctors. The composition of the inner drawers would vary depending on the purpose of the chest. Portable medicine chests could have small drawers for herbs and medicinals; chests with large drawers could contain books or documents.

The square shape and large size of the current example make it very rare. The handle would have been used to move the chest rather than to lift it. For transportation, the box would have been bound with two woven cords tied around each arched side of the handle and then carried by two porters with a pole slipping through the cords.
