<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9729825, member: 82566&quot;]one of the problems i&#039;ve had with identifying the tray is the style of art just doesn&#039;t look like anything Chinese, at least not that i&#039;m familiar with.&nbsp; i was talking with someone i know locally that is very knowledgeable and he mentioned ancient tomb art as a possibility.&nbsp; i went looking at ancient Chinese tomb art online and found examples that are stylistically similar.&nbsp; these are examples of Han Dynasty painted bricks found in a tomb.&nbsp; there are other examples to be found online.&nbsp; some have flourishes similar to the art in the corners of my tray.&nbsp; the calligraphic look was popular during this period.&nbsp; obviously, they&#039;re not the same, but there is a similarity in the general look of the art.&nbsp; these bricks are approximately 2000 years old.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]473510[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]473511[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]473512[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
