TheWoWDBEdit: It appears the Artifact Box has different spawn locations. What you're looking for is glowing blue circles. If you see them, than you are near the container. You can target the container box as well: /tar Ancient Mogu Artifact. You do not need to Dismount to clear the runes or loot the artifact.
Go to around 26, 20 and you will see a box with artifact
To unlock this box, simply walk over all the blue runes on the ground in the surrounding area. Than you will be able to loot the artifact.

Description
Hello, friend. One of Leven's men brought word to me of a mogu artifact in the eastern ruins, but said he couldn't figure out how to retrieve it. I suspect it's guarded by one of their rune locks. If you go to the artifact, you should find four runes somewhere nearby that when activated will release the lock. If you could bring the artifact back to me, I would be very grateful.
