A gilt silver 'peacock' casket-box and coverTang dynasty style, probably later6.8cm H, 8.0cm W, 7.6cm DProvenance: 唐式銀鎏金孔雀紋方蓋盒Compare with another silver box of slightly larger size, excavated in Hejia Village in Shaanxi province in 1970. The decoration of each facet, except for very few unnoticeable details, is near identical between this lot and the example from Hejia Village. The manufacturing details however,paring with what is observed inHuawu Datang Chun: Hejiacun Yibao Jingcui, vary somewhat in the soldering of the base, attaching of the gaskets, and fastening of the hinge. See ibid., Wenwu Publishing, 2003, p.196-201, no.46.比較1970年在陝西何家村出土的唐代窖藏中一件孔雀紋方盒，尺寸較此號略大一號（通高10cm），無鎏金，紋飾除若干難以注意的細節外，其他完全一致。據《花舞大唐春：何家村遺寶精粹》中介紹的主體焊接、墊片固定、及連接鈎環等的製造工藝與此號相比較也略有不同。見齊東方、申秦雁主編，《花》，文物出版社，2003，頁 196-201，圖版 46。
