The Empress appointed two emperors during her reign including The last Emperor, Pu Yi. In 1908, at the age of 73, Tszchi passed away. The screen depicts the Empress in the clouds above her palace, being taken to Heaven in her royal carriage, towed by a spotted deer. The reverse side of the screen, done in white lacquer is another example of master craftsmanship.
