After the veneer is treated and pressed flat, it then gets applied over a wooden core, and is carved in shallow relief. As the colour of the bamboo skin is lighter than wood, the design is left in reserve contrasting the darker background, resulting in an elegant and attractive finish.Bamboo-veneer boxes of this form were held in high esteem and produced for the imperial court. For another conjoined circular box of identical size and from the Qing Court collection, preserved in the Palace Museum, Beijing, with an additional tier and carved with clouds, illustrated in Small Refined Articles of the Study.
