The box has a characteristic T-shaped profile; with inset lower corners used to fit between the bearer poles of a sedan chair, it was used for storing documents and other valuables during a journey. It is elegantly trimmed in baitong with strips at each corner, cloud-shaped spandrels to the top corners of the cover, and a squared lock-plate and ruyi-head clasp set in the front. The interior has two rectangular compartments at either end flanking a separate long, low tray lining the deeper central storage compartment.
Some storage boxes of this form are also found with concave lids, suggesting that they were used as pillows on long journeys, this way the owner could keep his most precious possessions under his head or arms during rest stops.
There is a similar sedan chair document box in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (Jacobsen and Grindley 1999, no. 74), and another one formerly in the Museum of Classical Chinese Furniture (see Christie's New York, 19 September 1996, lot 6).
