Popis This large Coromandel screen was made in the Fujian province in 1683, as a birthday gift. These facts, and other, were recorded in the laudatory text carved on the reverse face of the screen, together with the names of the donors. Spanning the averse face, there is a depiction showing plentiful figures in a garden palace, surrounded by a decorative border with flowers and mythical beasts. The central scene shows Zhang Gongyi of the Hou Jin dynasty (936-946) who symbolizes longevity and plentiful family. Besides, there is a number of secondary scenes, some of which are known from other media; examples include dancers, women and children, or brooms and horses. Both sides are framed by a lavish decorative border, showing antiquities and mythical beasts.
