Beijing carved lacquer wooden box - Yagailong University Museum

Beijing carved lacquer craftsmanship, as one of the "Three Treasures" of Chinese arts and crafts, is renowned alongside Hunan embroidery and Jingdezhen porcelain in Jiangxi for its unique skills and exquisite carving. The art of carved lacquer originated in Yunnan and Sichuan in southern China and was widely known during the Tang and Song dynasties. In the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), it was introduced to Beijing, and many skilled craftsmen in lacquer carving migrated here as Beijing became the capital. The Jagiellonian University Museum houses a carved lacquer box from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which embodies the exquisite craftsmanship and pursuit of beauty of royal workshops in the Qing Dynasty. It is a precious heritage of traditional Chinese arts and crafts.

Astronomical pentameter in the first half of the 19th century

Built by artist Joseph von Utzschner in the first half of the 19th century, this instrument is an observational astronomical device used to determine the height of celestial bodies above the horizon. It consists of a frame limited by two radii, an arc with a scale, an observation telescope, and a mirror system. It is used to determine the position of celestial bodies by using a mirror system that produces a reflection image of the observed object parallel to the horizon in the observer's field of view. In order to observe the position of the sun, a filter is used to limit the amount of light reaching the observer's eyes. The instrument is currently housed in the Jagiellonian University Museum in Munich, Germany.
