Description
Two panes of lattice form this window at Er Wang Temple. Along the bottom is a horizontally oriented panel with vertical stretched ovals with rectangles in between. Above that is a large rectangular panel with a relief carving of a lotus flower and buds within a vase. Above that is a stylized Chinese character. Through the lattice one can see a very steep tiled rooftop. See all items with this value
Commentary
Don Willmott's wife Elizabeth Willmott is a professional artist. Having read Dan Dye's work on lattice, a facsimile of which had just been republished by Dover, the couple were fascinated with Chinese lattice. Elizabeth created many works of art that were inspired by Chinese lattice artists. See all items with this value
