The square stand set over four low feet, covered overall in glossy black lacquer, the top skilfully inlaid in slivers of mother-of-pearl with a watery landscape, four figures on a bridge, one pointing ahead and in the water below a lone boatsman, the landscape dotted with old trees including pine with gnarled trunks and overhanging foliage, the steep banks of the wending river with different bushes growing. Period: 19th century. Measurements: 20?x?20 cm.
