凤凰形金银平脱残件

PAIR OF PHOENIXES
LATE 7TH - 8TH CENTURY
CHINESE
These delicate phoenixes were cut from sheets of gold. Cut-outs like this were mounted on items such as mirrors and boxes with a lacquer-based mixture—a technique called pingtuo. Tang dynasty elites indulged in pingtuo luxuries to such an extent that an emperor issued a ban on them; the law was ineffective.
