| @Square with re-entrant corners, edge panels which flare outwards
slightly and a low pedestal. The tray surface is in cinnabar lacquer,
the underside of the edges is yellow and the reverse of the tray is
in black lacquer. The central scene is a pair of birds with peonies
and rocks in chinkin inlay. There is an inner border of arabesque
and cloisonn_, surrounded by a second border of green lacquer. The
tray edges have double borders and are filled with a petal design.
It is an excellent example of early chinkin. |
