Compare the inlaid black lacquer screen included in the exhibition, Fine and Rare Chinese Works of Art and Ceramics, June 2003, Roger Keverne, London, p. 103, no. 124, which depicts two long-tailed birds perched on the branch of a magnolia tree above peony and camellia growing from rocks. As with the present panels it is inlaid in mother-of-pearl and soapstone, as well as other materials, and like the decoration on the present pair of panels is quite realistic in its depiction.
