The two cases are evenly divided into three layers, with each layer having a tapering hole, and the tapering hole is decorated with two rings. Drawers are arranged on either side of the square table and the round table. There are recesses in the drawer for placing jade articles (without sleeping bags), but the brocade lining the jade has been lost, and the outline of the jade article can only be roughly seen from the form of the recesses. In both cases, there were several embossed feet
This piece of furniture can be used as a bookcase. It is unique to the Qing Dynasty Palace and was originally placed in the Qianqing Palace due to its unique shape and exquisite design
