Handmade Lacquer Tea Coaster with Dunhuang Mural Motif

Handmade Lacquer Tea Coaster - Dunhuang Mural Motif

Inspired by the flying celestial figures in Dunhuang's ancient murals, this square tea coaster centers a circular motif - like a fragment of an old fresco left by time. Red, blue-green, white, and black are layered in muted tones, preserving the charm of patina, worn edges, and raw hand-painted brushwork. Flowing lines around the edges echo the graceful movement of mural art - ancient in spirit, yet unadorned and earthy.
