Table screen with the gathering in the Western Garden
Rectangular off-white sculpture, possibly made of ivory, with a flat rectangular protruding frame around the bottom and sides. The relief sculpture depicts a scene with trees, foliage and figures. There are 2 main trees growing on a bank sloping down to the left. A man sits on a rock under one of the trees. A woman stands on a bridge on the left, and another figure sits on a rock on the right. A pagoda-style building is on the right with trees growing on top of it. The background shows large drapery folds. The background gradient behind the sculpture darkens to black at the top.
