The main body and tiered lid incorporate four inset, deeply pierced openwork panels depicting stylized archaistic dragons and cloud scrolls, with fine details accentuated by dark-pigmented incised lining. The matching lid terminates in a crouching beast finial, while the underside bears an incised four-character apocryphal square seal mark reading Qianlong Nian Zhi.
