The Mazarin Chest and the Van Diemen Box (now in the collection of Japanese art at London's Victoria and Albert Museum) were made in about 1635 for European patrons.
These beautiful and important examples of Japanese export lacquer are the centerpieces of this exhibition, which also includes a selection of lacquer objects that provide history and context.
Tales in Sprinkled Gold marks the completion of an international research and conservation project on the Mazarin Chest that was funded by a major grant from the Getty Foundation.
