The natural grain of the wood lends the frame an amber warmth and an organic texture that delicately frames the interior panels.

Each section is composed of a dense weave of ultra-thin bamboo slats that serve as a canvas for elegant pictorial decorations. The motifs, distributed across both the upper and lower panels, celebrate the theme of wild nature: colorful birds with vibrant plumage—blue, red, and yellow—are depicted in flight or perched among blooming branches of peonies and cherry trees.

The design is completed by arched feet that lift the frame off the ground, lending it a sense of lightness, while the joints are embellished with brown braided cords ending in red tassels, a detail that adds a touch of traditional color and emphasizes the piece's refined aesthetic.
