Many scholars regard the Kui-long as a variant of the dragon. This mythical creature can be found decorated on some of the most impressive surviving objects from the Chinese Bronze Age. Delicately sculpted in relief, the Kui-long motif decorates the borders of this piece in style and modernity.

Carved through with dragon patterns, porcelain pieces like this were especially popular during the Kangxi reign, and represented the pinnacle of Qing ceramics. Borrowing the same motif from the fragrance censer, the dragon carvings adorn this photoframe in relief, accentuating the artistic style of this era.

不少學者認為夔龍是龍的一種，好些現存的出土青銅時期文物 皆飾有這奇幻生物的紋飾。精巧夔龍浮雕圖案，裝點著相框邊 緣，格調非凡，雅致時尚。

康熙年間特別盛行瓷器上飾以栩栩如生的龍雕，為清代陶瓷的 巔峰之作。靈感來自薰香爐圖案，相框上的祥龍浮雕突顯清代 藝術風格，別具特色。
