For another scholar’s item made from coconut shell in the cracked ice pattern see Bonham’s London Fine Chinese Art 9 November 2017, lot#105. Having an 18th century attribution and the following footnote: ”Chests and indeed any piece of furniture made with coconut-shell are very rare. This unique material was cut and crafted with great skill to create a singularly remarkable surface.
