TitelBrush Pot, Carved Bamboo
BeschreibungCARVED BAMBOO BRUSH POT, fashioned out of an irregular length of bamboo, its cross-section an irregular ellipse, three joins being preserved: one forming the base and two like hoops round the body, on a broad side of which a line of poetry in skilled calligraphy carved in intaglio, with traces of silvery plating still visible, followed by a large square seal half in relief and half in intaglio and stained vermilion; bamboo stained and aged to a dark brown; on the other flatter side, a hole pierced just below the rim, might be a provision for hanging the pot on a flat surface. Late 19th century.
