Source Description
This plate expresses an effective coupling of physical form and painted ornament. The artist bent the bamboo stalks on the right and the minimal landscape below to fit the contours of the dish. The tiger is drawn in long, fluid brushstrokes and filled with yellow overglaze enamel, conveying the hairy and striped nature of a tiger’s fur.
