Os jogos de caixas, compostos de quatro elementos trilobulados em torno de uma caixa grande redonda ou em forma de flor, serviam para guardar cosméticos ou incenso. Esta peça faz parte de um conjunto. Peças similares em cerâmica e bronze atestam a mistura de diversos materiais. A fabricação esquisita e a ornamentação rica desta caixa incrustada com fragmentos de madrepérola e concha de casco de tartaruga representam o ponto alto do artesanato da laca durante a dinastia Goryeo (918–1392).
