- Description:
- Porcelain tray. Framed by bamboo, two children are in dialogue. A small boy kneels, facing the older child, a girl, who is reading a pamphlet. He raises a hand as if asking a question. Judging from the open satchel with documents, she is reading Supreme Directives from Chairman Mao. This scene may be illustrating a central theme of “revolutionary education”: dear as your mother and father are to you, Chairman Mao is still dearer. The edge of the rim has a silver bowstring.
