Though we really can't see them, there are chaotic pictures on the urn. And as with any cheap plastic (provenance unknown--oops, it was Sichuan province) time is likely to levigate pictures in relief, making them unintelligible. How's that for truth? And beauty?
yes, can't see them, but we can imagine them, even more interesting than in the original piece, or no? :-) but no plastic, no - though i agree any cynical postmodern comment needs a plastic wrapping to define itself as such :-)
da,ce Oda minunata acolo,basoreliefurile se simt exact ca in acest cuvant care imi place atat, totul il respira,si este o asa gala acolo, ca o petrecere cu multe oglinzi si somptuozitati, la care domnita sta, tacuta in rochia ei de catofea neagra,langa fereastra:)
