Fu Zhongmo, Gu Yu Jing Ying, Hong Kong, 1989, p. 280, records a similar piece as a paperweight, a scholar's object carved by Suzhou jade craftsmen during the Jiajing and Wanli period. The front is typically decorated after paintings by the Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty, accompanied by inscribed poems.

傅衷謨著《古玉精英》，香港，1989，頁280記載類似器具為鎮紙，是明嘉靖萬曆間蘇州玉工所雕文房器。正面紋飾多用明四家畫為紋飾，輔以題款詩文。
