拍品專文

The geometric motif of the present lot, achieved through the use of different eggshell inlay techniques, illustrates the artist's innate sense of composition and rhythm. Curved gold threads, reminiscent of the golden ratio, accompany eggshell triangles, creating a balanced and harmonious decoration particularly pleasing to the eye.
