This animated sculpture depicts a scene of peaceful life in China’s agricultural society. It is also an example of a remarkable innovation by craftsmen of the imperial workshops during the late seventeenth century: the application of enamel colors, originally used for metalwork, on porcelain, which significantly enlivened the pallet of ceramic decoration.
