| Description |
Western Han Dynasty era lacquer cups, bowls, chopsticks, and trays unearthed from tomb 1 at Mawangdui mear Changsha in Hunan Province, China. They are dated to the mid 2nd century BC, found in the tomb of Lady Dai (c. 168 BC). Lacquer, made from the sap of a tree indigenous to China, was used from neolithic times to waterproof bamboo and wooden objects. In Han times well-made lacquer objects were so highly valued they could cost more than bronze pieces. |
