The quality of this quite large covered box is so superb that this piece could be an Imperial piece. It seems that in its original state there was a Seal Mark to the base of the box but for whatever reasons this Seal Mark was scraped away a very long time by arduous work.

What is confusing, is, that the piece was excavated together with some broken, ordinary Song pieces, and that there have not been found any other Qing material at this lokation. The piece is very nice, and in a perfect condition. D...
