元或明早期 十三至十五世紀 剔犀如意雲紋圓盒For another box and cover dated to the 13th-14th century but of flatter profile with a single band of pommel-scrolls around a similar central design, see www.metmuseum.org, accession no. 29.100.713, where it is noted that the pommel scroll design can be found as early as the Song period (960-1279) and refers to the pommel of a sword, an unexpected prototype for a design in another material (see the footnote to lot 108 in this sale). It is also illustrated by James C.Y. Watt, The World of Khubilai Khan, Chinese Art in the Yuan Dynasty, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2010, p. 291, fig. 339.For a very similar design on two 13th to 14th century cinnabar lacquer dishes, see Sotheby's London, 15 May 2019, lot 65; and Christie's London, 7 November 2006, lot 55. For a slightly later Ming dynasty example in black lacquer, see Christie's, New York, 17 September 2008, lot 130.
