Round Box with Bird and Peonies Design
A shallow round lacquer vessel with a deep, glossy dark-brown interior and a carved band of densely layered blossoms and foliage on its outer wall. Below, a spiral-scroll band and a fret border encircle the foot against a grey background.
Look closer: A repeating spiral-scroll pattern runs around the lower body above the fret border.
