The painted decoration on the cover that pairs with this base provides an interesting image of the antiquities and objects being collected in the Chinese scholar’s desk—all of which are emblems of taste, status, and affluence. Connoisseurship, art cataloguing, art historical study, and elegant social gatherings developed alongside art collecting as part of the Chinese literati culture. An auspicious lingzhi mushroom was painted on the base.
