The blue used in the depiction of the magpie was created using an oil-based pigment that allowed for the development of additional colors in the design of Chinese lacquers. Such pigments, to which a lead oxide is added as a drying agent, are known as litharge in Western writings, and as mituoseng in Chinese.
