- Description:
A box for storing a fire sickle. It is divided into two parts: the cover and the body. The device cover and the two sides of the box body are used as small ears for threading and extracting to prevent the cover from separating from the body. Among the two exhibits, one is a picture of western landscapes and figures, especially the cross on the church roof, showing the western elements arising from the cultural exchange between China and the West. The surface of the objects other than Kaiguang is decorated with brocade patterns using the technique of cone arch, and embossed gold flowers are added on it, making it look like the pattern and texture of pigskin embroidery. The bottom center is left blank with red seal characters “made in the year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty”. The other work is not polished on all sides. The ground glaze is painted green, and it is also decorated with gold flowers. The center is left blank with a six character seal script of “Made in the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty”.
