$0.00
Early 19th Century, Jianxi Province, Southern China
Camphor Wood, Pigments
Originally part of the architecture in a Chinese home, this window panel beautifully exhibits three delicately carved scenes. The figures depicted are full of life, shown emoting and gesticulating as they interact with one another. Simplified dragons appear in the surrounding geometric patterns - a sign this carving most likely belonged to an Official's family.
