Carved Cinnabar lacquer tray Ming Yongle (1403-1425 AD)
This is a Ming Yongle period cinnabar lacquer tray. It is in the shape of an octagonal lobe, decorated with a flower and leaf pattern repeating around the circumference of the tray. In the center of the tray, we can see a pavilion with literati. The artist carved three different background reliefs to distinguish the sky from the land and the water. On the bottom of this tray, we can see a six character needle-inscribed regime mark, 'Da Ming Yong Le Nien Zhi' (Yongle Period, Ming Dynasty) in black lacquer.
