Lacquered wood stands on which emblems would be placed, were scattered around halls and temples of the Imperial palaces. Made in different sizes, they frequently followed the same shape and design. See, for example, a set of eight altar emblem stands with their original emblems in front of an altar in the Xianruoguan, illustrated in the Life in the Forbidden City, Hong Kong, 1985, fig.467.
