Description
English: A Ming dynasty Chinese box (c. 1490s AD) made of carved lacquer over wood, with decorations of the palace of the Chinese moon Goddess Chang'e, displaying outdoor courtyards, trees, buildings, and denizens of the moon including a rabbit that pounds the elixir of immortality with a pestle and mortar, a three-legged toad (referencing the story of when Chang'e landed on the moon) and groups of Chinese scholars. The signature of the artisan Wang Ming (fl. late 15th century) is inscribed on the right column of the palace scene.
