Ornamental Panel (from a Ceiling?)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Ornamental Panel (from a Ceiling?) by Unknown. The image shows a rectangular wooden panel with intricate carvings. The panel features a raised border around the edges. Two circular floral designs are carved into the panel, one on the left and one on the right. Each floral design consists of multiple teardrop-shaped petals arranged in a circle. The background of the panel is filled with ornate carvings of leaves, vines, and other foliage. The carvings are rendered in shades of brown, with some red and green visible. The panel appears to be old and weathered. The carvings depict various animals, including birds, deer, and monkeys. The overall design is symmetrical, with similar patterns and motifs on either side of the center. The panel's surface is worn and distressed, giving it an aged appearance.
