Pair of dishes with scenes from Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Two round, flat, dark brown dishes with raised designs are side by side on a beige surface. The dishes have a dark brown rim around the edge. The dish on the left has a scene with people and buildings, and the dish on the right has a scene with people, trees, and animals. The scenes appear to be carved into the surface of the dishes. The background is a beige surface, possibly a table or shelf, with a slight shadow cast by the dishes.
