This is a shadow box with a Chinese artifact, or copy of one mounted inside. Looking for an answer as to what it is and what it symbolizes. The back says Yi Lin arts and treasures of China. It measures 14" x 11.5" by 3" deep. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Appears to be a jue. Used to heat wine and serve for ceremonies..

dav2no1, I've had that particular problem before with some links. It seems like the CW S&T S/W doesn't like links with parentheses in them.
