| A finely detailed Chinese relief carving shows a bearded scholar in his courtyard surrounded by friends and family. He and his bearded associate sit at a table under the ornate roofs of the raised pavilion. Two children and several other figures are seen in other sections of the courtyard, which is enclosed by a low fence. Six tiled roofs, trees and potted plants are carved with meticulous care, and another structure is seen atop a mountain in the background. The coins carved in each end of the scene symbolize wealth. Fretwork connects the two darker wood frames that surround the relief carving. Brass hangers added to the frame could be removed to focus attention on the charm and fine carving of the central scene. This late 19th century Qing piece is in very good condition. Dimensions: height 13" (33 cm), width 26" (66 cm). | |||||||||||
