Table Screen with land of immortals

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular, raised-relief sculpture on a dark gray background with varying shades of light gray. The relief depicts a mountainous landscape with a house and several structures on a hillside. The house has a tiled roof and appears to have two visible windows on the side facing the viewer. The surrounding area includes additional buildings lower down the hill and what appears to be a tall, thin object rising from the ground to the left. The landscape features many raised lines and shapes suggesting rocky terrain and possibly water. The overall scene is titled "Table Screen with land of immortals" and is by an unidentified artist.
