Ceramic and bronze granary models became very popular during the Han dynasty as a set of tombs for bureaucratic officers and wealthy landowners. The most widespread model is undoubtedly the cylindrical one but rectangular specimens like this are also known, especially found in archaeological contexts in northern China, usually characterized by the presence of feet shaped as bears (a rectangular ceramic model is in the Art Institute of Chicago, inv. 1924.238; see also the piece in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, inv. 242.1989).
