Label TextThe pattern on this plate was recorded in the Bow records as the Image or Bordered Image pattern. Because this subject and even the name given to it were not understood, it became popularly known in England as the “golfer and caddy.” In fact, this scene depicts a Chinese scholar carrying a staff and accompanied by an attendant entrusted with his scrolls, strolling through a topsy-turvy landscape.
