The carving style of the openwork design is reminiscent of that seen on 18th century Chinese wooden furniture; for example see a table with openwork panels and corner spandrels carved with scrolling leaves illustrated in Hu Desheng, The Palace Museum Collection. A Treasury of Ming and Qing Dynasty Palace Furniture, vol. 1, Beijing, 2007, fig. 253, together with a zitan incense stand, its aprons carved with scrolling leaves and flowers, fig. 329. See also a bamboo carving of a basket with openwork lotus decoration included in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum. Bamboo, Wood, Ivory and Rhinoceros Horn Carvings, Shanghai, 2001, pl. 64, together with an ivory flower basket of similar form as the present example, also decorated with openwork motif, pl. 171.
