AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Qing Dynasty to the early Republic period (approximately late 19th to early 20th century). Hand-carved relief sculpture, partly gilded and lacquered.
Material: wood (probably camphor wood or pine), gold leaf remnants, red and black lacquer.
Condition: Used with evident signs of aging. There are chips in the lacquer and in the gilding (see image_10.png), cracks in the wood on the back (image_4.png) as well as minor dents along the edges of the carving (image_7.png).
Description:
A horizontal, rectangular wooden panel that originally formed part of a larger piece of furniture (such as a bridal bed) or an architectural element (lintel) (image.png). The detailed carving shows a figurative scene with numerous people in traditional garments, moving beneath stylized pine trees and architectural fragments (image_2.png, image_5.png).
Notable features:
- The deep relief carving creates a sense of depth
- Gold leaf remnants, mainly preserved on the figures and decorative elements
- The back shows natural wood grain with old nail marks and simple dimensions: 63.8 cm (width) x 16.1 cm (height) x 3.8 cm (depth).
