拍品专文

Lattice screen panels of this type created a decorative element of separation while at the same time allowing the merging of contrasting spaces.
The quatrefoil in the center most likely represents a persimmon calyx motif, shidi wen, a decorative motif used in China from as early as the Han dynasty.
