Silver carved butterfly box, clear, 2.6 cm high, 9.8 cm long and 7.4 cm wide. The Qinggong Jiucang
box is butterfly type. The front of the box cover is carved with pearl patterns on the bottom to show the butterfly wing scales, and then the raised cluster of six beard agate patterns and vine patterns are used to show the markings on the butterfly wing. “Butterfly” is homonymous to “Fu” and “Jiu”, implying “Fu Shou An Kang”
The box cover uses the butterfly pattern central shaft as the hinge, and the cover piece opens from both ends to the center, like a butterfly wing, with ingenious design and exquisite craftsmanship
