Gorgeous detail on the insets with Blue, Green, Beige, and Mica added to the usual Red, Gold, Brown, and Black. Lovely features on the figures with little to no loss of the painting and carving.

Excellent antique condition> Upper panel has one old horizontal age-shrinkage side-to-side crack / tight split, but nothing'missing' and could be repaired/re-glued. As seen in the photo details but no other damage. Of the'puzzle piece' type to fit together with other panels; Some normal rub and wear on the tenons as seen but no chipping or splits. Old wire and metal eyes screwed into the back to facilitate hanging on a wall. This has been in my family since the early 1960's.
