Skušek's Collection (SEM)

Dresser with mirror

Dresser with mirror

The central panel on the dresser shows a mountain of immortals in the middle of the sea. In the palace, on a lotus pedestal with folded arms and a broomstick in his hands, the Jade Emperor, the central deity of the Daoist pantheon, is most probably depicted. The motif on the mirror frame depicts, in addition to floral patterns and grapes, the eight treasures that bring good luck and prosperity.
