DESCRIPTION: Wooden Brush Pot of Dragon and Phoenix
Meiping Plaque with open work

The dragon and the phoenix were often used together
decoratively. For the Chinese, dragons represented the male,
yang element and were a beneficent force of nature, even
though they had fiery tempers. The mythical phoenix
represented the female, yin element. The dragon was the
emblem of the Chinese emperor, and the phoenix of the
empress, and together the two creatures were used to symbolize
marital harmony.
<p>
The style of openwork became particularly popular towards the
end of Qianlong Emperor's reign.

Undecorated on the bottom.
