         The tray is delicately executed in mother-of-pearl inlay, the
         centre is decorated with a shaped panel enclosing scholars
         enjoying literati pursuits accompanied by their attendants
         in a fenced garden, all reserved on a trellis ground. The
         walls are decorated with four different flowers encircled
         by meandering foliage scrolls, all interspersed with shaped
         panels on a honeycomb ground.

         The literati subject matter and the execution of the
         borders closely resemble a group of Ming-dynasty
         dishes and trays displayed at the Metropolitan Museum
         of Art in the exhibition East Asian Lacquer: The Florence
         and Herbert Irving Collection, New York, 1991, illustrated
         in the Catalogue, pp. 131-138, nos. 58-61.
