Foliated Scrolls Inhabited by Birds and Monkeys
Long, narrow, rectangular wooden panel with intricate carvings. The panel has a light-brown color with a smooth texture. Top and bottom edges have a decorative border of small beads. Five round metal bolts are visible, one near each corner and one in the middle, used for mounting. Intricate carvings depict interconnected foliated scrolls with curving stems and leaves. The scrolls are inhabited by birds and monkeys. Birds are perched on stems and amidst foliage. Monkeys are climbing and playing among the leaves and stems. The carvings are finely detailed, with texture and features of the animals and plants clearly defined. The background of the image is plain gray.
