Filled-in Lacquer Round
Box with Peony Decor
Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368-
1644)
Height 3.27cm
Weight 0.09g
The box face is
decorated with a peony

patterned background.
The smooth surface is
a feature of filled-in
lacquer, in which "lacquer
of various colors is massed
into patterns, then smoothed
flat like a painting."
