CommentThe architectural decoration in the shape of the nail head is joined to the wall surface with a mortise, like a mushroom-formed nail sticks in the wall above the head. Glazed ceramics were used only for decorating the palace in those days. The people would be surprised at the bright blue decorating a wall surface.
