A RARE MING CARVED POLYCHROME LACQUER 'DRAGON' BOX AND COVER
JIAJING INCISED AND GILT SIX-CHARACTER MARK AND OF THE PERIOD (1522-1566)
The box is deeply carved through layers of cinnabar-red and dark green to a brown lacquer-ground depicting a sinuous dragon rising above cresting waves flanked by a peony and a lingzhi sprig issuing from rocky outcrops, and below a shou character amid ruyi-shaped clouds. The rounded sides are decorated with an undulating floral scroll with eight flower heads each supporting an auspicious object, the straight rims with an elaborate diaper-pattern, and the foot encircled by a key-fret band. The reign mark is written in a line to the centre of the base.
7 5/8 in. (19.4 cm.) diam.
