Description

Table screen panel made from ivory, inlaid with black lacquer. Rectangular with a curved front, decorated with a dragon and lingzhi fungus.
The reverse bears a couplet taken from a poem by Tsu-an, which literally translates as: "Plain beauty brightens the Winter (cold) snow. Pure fragance leaves alone the evening breeze".
