Abstract
Carved lacquerware decorated with scroll-shaped patterns arranged geometrically (<i>guri</i>) was produced in China from the Tang (618 AD-906 AD) through Yuan (1280 AD-1368 AD) periods. The dating of these pieces is problematic. Discusses <i>guri</i> pieces excavated from dated sites and attributes 12 <i>guri</i> pieces in Japanese and American collections to the Song period on the basis of stylistic comparisons. -- AATA
