A similar but slightly smaller example is illustrated by J. Tian, Classical Chinese Furniture of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong, 1996, pp. 220 and 221, no. 100; details on pp. 222 and 223. The author mentions the rebus formed by the bat, musical stone and double fish motifs as one of 'endless rejoicing'.
