Bamboo vessels carved with archaistic motifs are known to exist,
but the fattened moonfask shape is rare as it is dificult to attain.
Compare to a bianhu form vessel with taotie masks in the collection
of the Beijing Palace Museum, see The Palace Museum Collection of
Elite Carvings, Beijing, 2002, pl. 58. For another example in moonfask
shape from the Daoguang period belonging to Dr. Ip Yee Collection,
see Chinese Bamboo Carving Part I, Hong Kong, 1978, pl. 182.
