Box with pommel scroll design
Not on view
The box’s base bears an incised mark of Yang Mao (active 14th century), one of the most famous lacquer masters in China. Historical texts indicate that Yang specialized in carved red lacquer, but no further detailed archival records survive to attribute any particular work to this artist. The skillful carving and design of this box suggest it was from the time of the artist, if not by his hand.
