The carving is figural and finely cut, with small robed figures, architecture and foliage built up in layers, then finished in red lacquer-toned color and gilded highlights. We read the work as Chinese, likely Late Qing dynasty, roughly 19th to early 20th century.

The gilt shadow box frame lifts the panels from the grasscloth so the shadows do the work. At 19.5 by 24.5 inches it is a good size for a dining room wall, a study or the space above a console. Red and gold look well against deep green, charcoal and warm white walls.
