Specialist note

The depiction of an array of precious antique objects became a popular motif on Qing-dynasty Imperial works of art, and this motif acquired the name bogu tu (Picture of Antiquities), after Xuanhe Bogu Tu, the catalogue of Song Huizong’s archaic bronze collection compiled in 1123. Bogu tu was a particularly favoured motif on textiles or hanging panels, intended to decorate the mansions of the literati.
