Brush holder with tribute scene
Not on view
The lively figures carved on this brush pot represent a scene of tribute bearers, possibly from a country in Southeast Asia, traveling to China. The figure holding a scepter is leading the procession, which includes a peculiar two-wheeled cart laden with treasures, a lion, and an elephant with a precious plant.
