14. A Carved Cinnabar And Black Lacquer Miniature Stand
Ming Period, 16th Century
The stand has a square top and incurved leg terminating on a square stretcher base with ruyi-shaped feet. It is carved on the top through the cinnabar lacquer to a black-lacquer ground with blossoming camellia. The same decoration is repeated around the lobed apron and the legs between bands of key pattern and trellis around the rim, waist and base.
