Covered box with lotus spray

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Covered box with lotus spray by Unknown is a rounded box made of white jade. The box has a domed lid and a small circular foot. The top surface of the lid is engraved with a design. A horizontal groove runs around the circumference of the box, in line with the bottom of the lid design. The box appears to be made from a single piece of material. The background is dark with a lighter surface the object sits on.
