Box and cup sculpture, Asia - Public domain museum image. A silver cup with a green substance in it
Summary
Silverware from the late Tang period is one of the most refined productions of Chinese applied art. The craftsmanship
is unparalleled: every dot was individually punched into the surface. Here, flower sprays and animal motifs have been executed with minute attention to detail and elegantly distributed over the surface.
