Root furniture, whether natural or contrived, was highly favoured by the literati for its direct association with nature and frequently appears in genre paintings in various forms including stands, tables and chairs. The current stand is a natural root from a boxwood tree but the numerous secondary roots have been enhanced by carving and a light coat of transparent lacquer.
