Handmade basket. Vegetable fibre and lacquered wood. China, early 20th century. A flattened ovoid Chinese basket that combines meticulous and complex basketwork on the body with a lid, mouthpieces, handles and foot in lacquered wood. The tondo that tops the lid depicts a figurative scene in a style derived from contemporary ink painting, with precise golden brushstrokes on a black background. It depicts the figure of a deity or mythical character, a middle-aged man running on clouds, holding a staff of knotted wood and accompanied by a bird perched high above.
