Ensembles mit vier Dreiblattkästchen, die eine größere, runde oder blumenförmige Schatulle umgaben, dienten als Behältnisse für Kosmetika oder Weihrauch. Dieses Stück war ursprünglich Teil eines solchen Sets. Es existieren auch ähnliche Exemplare aus Keramik oder Bronze, was die Verbreitung vermischter Einflüsse über unterschiedliche Medien bezeugt. Dieses exquisit gefertigte und kunstfertig mit Perlmutt- und Schildplattscheibchen ornamentierte Juwel steht für den Höhepunkt der Lackarbeiten, die während der Goryeo-Dynastie (918–1392) hergestellt wurden.
