Appreciation of Yuan and Ming Lacquerwork(1) |
Qing Dynasty It is carved in relief with a continuous scene of two scholars seated in a boat under an awning with two attendants. The one in the bow is fanning the fire under a wine pot, while the boatman in the stern is poling the vessel through the choppy waters of the river.

The interior is painted in black lacquer and the base in brown lacquer. |
