清乾隆 雕漆剔紅雲龍寶盒|Box with dragons in clouds
Unknown
mid-18th century · Carved red lacquer · Asian Art
The front-facing dragon on this box’s lid continues a late Ming-period tradition of depicting dragons frontally. In addition to the reign mark on the base, a title mark describes the piece as a “cloud-and-dragon treasure box” (yunlong baohe); its inclusion in the inscription reflects a new practice that appeared in the imperial workshop of the Qianlong period.
