For a slightly larger circular dish with a comparable scroll and stylized
ruyi design with central quatrefoil and circular cartouches set on an
eight-pointed star cartouche dated to the Southern Song Dynasty, see
The Colours and Forms of Song and Yuan China, Nezu Institute of Fine
Arts, Tokyo, 2004, p. 138, col. pl. 50. Dishes of this type appear to
