AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exceptionally rich and deeply carved Chinese gilded wooden relief panel from the Chaozhou/Teochew tradition of Guangdong, South China, dating from the late Qing Dynasty / early Republic, circa 1880–1930.
The pierced high relief depicts a particularly lively and intricate scene with riders, warriors and other figures, pavilions, a bridge, trees and landscape elements. The various figures and architectural elements are carved in multiple layers behind one another, creating a strong three-dimensional depth.
This type of richly gilded woodcarving was used in South China for the decoration of temples, ancestral halls, screens and prestigious interiors. This specimen stands out for its large size, weight, very deep carving and particularly high detailing.
The panel is in excellent condition. There are no broken or missing parts.
