A Betel Tray with Mother-of-Pearl Inlays

Item Details

Description

Thailand
Wood, bamboo, mother-of-pearl, lacquer; height 16cm, diameter 26cm
This wooden tray has a wide dodecagon (12-sided polygon) tray on top and a dodecagon flaring foot. The inside of the tray is undecorated and is coated with red lacquer. The entire outer surface is covered by very fine mother-of-pearl inlays consisting mainly of floral/foliage designs and lozenges. On the foot, there are multiple depictions of a squat, rotund bird.
The mother-of-pearl used here is known as muk fai (â€˜mother-of-pearl with flameâ€™) and gives a rich opalescent lustre to the piece. The pieces were first cut to shape before being set into wet lacquer. Due to the painstaking process (from acquiring the materials to the lengthy time needed to finish a piece), objects with mother-of-pearl were affordable only to royalty and other wealthy nobles.
