Crafted with remarkable attention to detail, the screen showcases delicate mother-of-pearl and soapstone inlays, each piece meticulously cut and placed to form figures, architectural pavilions, and landscape elements.

The rich black lacquer finish provides a striking contrast to the luminous inlays and the fine gold incised linework that traces bamboo, clouds, and pagodas throughout the composition. The panels are capped with tiered, cloud-form tops and supported by solid wood frames, offering both structural integrity and sculptural beauty.

This screen’s craftsmanship and decorative presence make it a captivating statement piece — ideal as a room divider, wall accent, or backdrop in an elegant interior.
