Unknown Artist, probably 1st century CE

Red-lacquer-coated wood, the designs painted in black, green, and ochre lacquers on the red-lacquer ground; with a two-character inscription reading "Li Wang" inscribed in "lishu" (clerical script) on the underside in raw lacquer, the two-character inscription probably meaning "[Good] luck [to] Wang." Probably made in Sichuan province; probably recovered at Lelang (also spelled Lo-lang; Korean, Naknang), near T'o-sông-ni, southwest of P'yôngyang, Korea.
