Previously catalogued as a medicine cabinet due to the various small drawers, the convenient proportions of the present piece indicate it could also be used for storing other objects. A related example of zitan and burlwood is illustrated in Grace Wu Bruce, Living with Ming - The Lu Ming Shi Collection, Hong Kong, 2000, cat. no. 66.
