Compare a related treasure sack in the form of a tied lotus leaf, carved from yellow jade, preserved in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Jade Ware (III), Hong Kong, 1995, pl. 53; and another small vase of similar form adorned with three dragons in high relief in Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum.

The form of a treasure sack, bao fu ping, means to wrap up and hold together happiness and good fortune. Together with the dragon it symbolizes the emperor bringing happiness and good fortune to the whole country.
