专家说明

Fine miniature carvings of this type were the kind of treasured object that would have been tucked into the treasure boxes kept by the Qianlong Emperor, such as those illustrated by Wen C. Fong and James C.Y. Watt in Possessing the Past: Treasures from the National Palace Museum, Taipei, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1996, pp. 550-52.
