Eggshell Urn.
The art of Eggshell Inlays comes from
China around the time of the Tang dynasty (7th to 10th Century).
Craftsmen use duck eggs that have already hatched, puzzle out patterns
of irregular geometry from broken off pieces of eggshell and glue each
piece carefully. Then, several layers of lacquer are applied on the urn.
