Plate with a drunken scholar and an attendant
White plate with a wide rim, featuring a colorful illustration of a scholar and an attendant. The scholar lies on a pile of clothing and a mat, his head resting on a blue and white pillow. He wears a brown jacket and has a blue cloth over his lower body. The attendant crouches beside him, wearing a white robe and a hat with a long tail. A green lamp with a tassel sits behind them. The plate's rim is decorated with a repeating pattern of fruits, flowers, and greenery, including pink flowers, green leaves, and yellow fruits. The background of the image is a gradient from black at the top to light gray at the bottom.
