■鳳鳥蓮花漆豆 Lacquered dou saucer with phoenix and lotus design
戰國 Warring States Period (475-221 BC)
荊州博物館藏
Jingzhou Museum
漆豆由蓮花豆盤、鳥首、鳥身、鳥爪與蛇身分件製成，用榫卯連接圓盒，再用生漆黏接，兩種方法拼合成完整的立體圖形。蓮花豆盤外壁雕出14瓣蓮花，盤下以一鳳鳥為柄，造型奇特，製作精美。蓮為楚地常見的水生植物，鳥蛇相鬥則是楚漆器圖案中較常見，應與當地流行的神話傳說有關。
The lacquered dou vessel comprises a lotus-shaped dish, a phoenix head, a phoenix body, phoenix claws and a snake. The parts are attached to the round box with mortises and tenons, and then adhered into place with lacquer. The lotus-shaped dish is created by hollowing-out and carving. Beneath the dish is a phoenix-shaped handle. The dou demonstrates unusual design and exquisite craftsmanship. The lotus is a native plant, while the phoenix and the snake are connected with the myths and legends of the Chu Kingdom; and perhaps for these reasons, their images are commonly seen on lacquered ware from Chu culture. ■資料：香港歷史博物館
