This is a set of the Four Chinese Beauties, with their paintings and poetry encased between fine crystal panels (per the Chinese characters on the front of the box).  Note that these paintings are NOT on the front nor the rear, but sandwiched between the panels, which preserves their beauty.

(from Wikipedia) The Four Beauties or Four Great Beauties are four Chinese women who were renowned for their beauty. The four are usually identified as Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diaochan, and Yang Guifei.  They all were said to have in some manner caught the attention of a ruling king or emperor in their respective eras. They gained their reputation from the influence they exercised over kings and emperors and, consequently, the way their actions impacted Chinese history.
