A circular box executed in the tixi (carved-rhino) lacquer technique, created by repeatedly applying layers of red and black lacquer and then carving through them to reveal undulating patterns. The lid is carved with a bird perched on flowering branches amid rocks, highlighted by the distinctive striated red-and-black lacquer pattern. The tixi technique, originating in the Tang dynasty and flourishing in the Song and Yuan, was prized for its bold color contrast and rhythmic carved lines. This piece exemplifies the refined artistry and ornamental value of carved lacquerware.
