Mythological Gilt Story Panel

This gilt carved panel began its life as a decorative addition to a late 19th-century Chinese cabinet or canopy bed. Set within a mica-encrusted square frame, the carving depicts several figures in motion, likely a scene from Chinese mythology or classical literature. The lively scene is carved in high relief and backed by a panel of geometric fretwork. Elevated by a custom steel mount, this carved panel lives on as a sculptural curiosity.
