The Qianlong Emperor (25 September 1711 – 7 February 1799) was the sixth emperor of the Manchu-led Qing dynasty, and the fourth Qing emperor to rule over China proper. As a capable and cultured ruler who inherited a thriving empire, during his long reign the Qing Empire reached the zenith of power and prosperity, boasting a large multi-ethnic population and a vibrant economy. As a military leader, he vigorously led several military campaigns expanding the dynastic territory to the largest extent by conquering and sometimes destroying Central Asian kingdoms. However his ascension to power turned around in his late years, with enduring power came the corruption that was so detrimental to the Chinese dynasties: the Qing empire began to decline with unrestricted corruption in his later days and the Qing began to stagnate following his death.
Richly decorated with dragons amidst waveformations. Diameter 16,5 cm.

Along with his obsession in Chinese Jade (nephrite), Qianlong was also fascinated by these Wunderkammern or Cabinet of Curiosities. Beyond storing precious jade pieces, I cannot help but wonder if rearranging the positions of jade pieces reveals a story, just like our modern day comic books.
