Description

Shallow round dish with a flat base and very low foot rim.  Wood base coated with black lacquer and inlaid with mother-of-pearl and powdered shell used to represent the ground.  A landscape scene fills the bottom. Two figures are on a terrace with a lantern, rocks and stylized flowers in the foreground and a tree to one side. One figure is pointing to a view of water rocks and plants; moon overhead.  Around the edge is a narrow border of alternating small and tiny diamond-shaped pieces of mother-of-pearl.  Around the sides a band of alternating V's with a flower in the centre of each one.
