Handmade basket. Vegetable fibre and lacquered wood. China, early 20th century. A flattened ovoid Chinese basket that combines meticulous and complex basketwork on the body with a lid, mouthpieces, handles and foot in lacquered wood. The tondo that tops the lid depicts a figurative scene in a style derived from contemporary ink painting, with precise golden brushstrokes on a black background, red details and the face highlighted in a soft ochre tone. It depicts a richly dressed lady in a landscape setting, sitting in front of a stream from which she collects a veil.
