Boîte à couvercle

ca.12th century
Not on view
Cette pièce faisait à l’origine partie d’un ensemble formé de quatre boîtes tréflées disposées autour d’une cinquième, plus grande et de forme circulaire ou florale, qui servait à ranger les cosmétiques ou l’encens. Il en existe de semblables en céramique ou en bronze, attestant un mélange d’influences d’un support à l’autre. Riche en détails exquis et abondamment pailletée de petits éclats de nacre et d’écaille de tortue, cette merveille représente le sommet de l’art du laque pendant la dynastie de Koryô (918–1392).
