This imposing artwork from the “Nine Dings of Profound Virtue” collection stands upright with unmistakable confidence and ability. This centerpiece commands the type of admiration and respect given to one truly capable of many things for their capability and restraint. Low-relief taotie motifs in the center are complimented on all four sides by the harmonious presence of classic thunder patterns symbolizing a harvest of honor and glory. The underlying message here speaks of order in the midst of chaos, an ability and a confidence that is reflected by both strength and caution, hand-in-hand, to bring peace to the world.
