SHAO SHAN KE “ANCIENT PINE IMMORTAL” TIN CAN ENGRAVED WITH CHINESE POETRY

H: 10.5 cm
W: 7 cm

An elaborately engraved round tin can. On the side is carved a picture showing the Immortal of the Ancient Pine resting under a pine tree, fanning himself with a plantain leaf fan. Also engraved are two lines of poetry: the words enrich the image and vice versa, making for an aesthetically satisfying effect.

The lines of poetry read: The heat of the summer’s day doesn’t dissipate until late in the night; sitting deep in the shade of the pine tree, I unbutton my shirt.
