Both sides depict a continuous scene of three Tigers along a river in a bamboo forest. One Tiger is crouching on a rock while lapping water from the river. The calligraphy on the front panel says, the men (leaders) of the forest. A euphemism for Tigers. Made in the summer of Year Gengshen (1980). The calligraphy on the reverse is a poem of the Tigers in the bamboo rain forest and asks, if the river water lapped by the Tiger is as white as the mountain waterfall? The sounds of the Tigers are carried by the wind. The color of white also suggests purity, thus mentioning the whiteness of waterfall might be a sarcasm toward corruption scenes of leaders. 2015.033.018.1stview2015.033.018.2ndviewLiu Ziyisrc: https://emuseum.cornell.edu/internal/media/dispatcher/97481/fullSnuff bottle with design of warriors and horses1984Liu Ziyi2015.033.05520731948719flattened rectangular with rounded shoulders on raised recessed base.
