Summary

Description
English: Tea-Leaf Container. Tang Dynasty, Famen Si

The outstanding vessel shown here is decorated with golden (gilt), flying geese that are applied to a silver frame of open basketwork. Much humbler receptacles, made of woven bamboo, would have been the prototype for this elegant tea-leaf container.

This object is one of a set from an imperial tea-service. Its inclusion in the Famen Si crypt is early evidence for the importance of tea in China.
