The black lacquered frame, brass corner fittings, dark wooden beads, and wood or bamboo rods reflect the practical design of mid-century working suanpan, made for regular handling and daily calculation rather than purely decorative display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1800\"\u003eIts worn surface tells that story clearly.
