These large wall plaques are oval-shaped and feature intricate hand painted geometric designs along the border. Each plaque has a vintage Asian brass hanging apparatus at the top on the back.

Each plaque depicts a figure dressed in traditional Asian attire. The figures are crafted from mother-of-pearl and off-white resin, giving them a delicate, luminescent quality. There is a beautiful engraved scrimshaw on all of the Mother of pearl attire. The background of each plaque is black, adorned with hand painted natural scenes. On the left plaque, there's a figure playing a musical Chinese drum (tanggu) holding two drum sticks, standing on a balcony in front of a Chinese pine tree with a mountain scene in the background. On the right plaque, the figure is also standing on a balcony next to a Chinese garden stool, holding a scroll with a palm or banana tree in the background.

These plaques stand out because of their meticulous craftsmanship and the striking contrast between the black background and the white, mother-of-pearl/Resin figures.
