Scatola con coperchio

ca.12th century
Not on view
Gruppi di quattro scatole a forma di trifoglio che circondavano una scatola di dimensioni maggiori rotonda o a forma di fiore venivano usati come contenitori per prodotti cosmetici o incenso. Il pezzo qui illustrato faceva parte in origine di un tale insieme. Esistono anche esempi simili in ceramica e bronzo, che testimoniano un intreccio di influenze tra vari materiali. Costruita con grande raffinatezza e sapientemente decorata con intricate inserzioni e frammenti in madreperla e tartaruga, questa preziosa scatola rappresenta il culmine nella lavorazione delle lacche fabbricate durante la dinastia Goryeo (918 - 1392).
