Compare with another carved bamboo ruyi scepter, illustrated in Chinese Bamboo Carving, Part I, Hong Kong, 1978, p. 105, no. 35.

The inscription on the top of the fitted Japanese box may be translated as 'An ancient bamboo ruyi in the shape of a fungus', and the reverse of the cover has an inscription that reads 'Appreciated and inscribed on an autumn day in the year of guimao (1903) during the Meiji reign, Kotani (or Kaya)', with the seals Tomasa and Kotani (or Kaya).
