A RARE ZITAN AND MOTHER OF PEARL EMBELLISHED BRUSH POT
QING DYNASTY |
This cylindrical brush pot is carved from zitan. The exterior has been inlaid with precious materials – including mother-of-pearl, ivory, coral, agate and jade – over a carved preliminary sketch to create a colorful picture of birds in plum trees and bamboo. The picture is neatly and simply executed, well-composed and full of life. The positioning of the birds on the plum branches has auspicious connotations. |
