Swatow was one of the Treaty Ports granted to Britain after the Treaty of Nanking (Nanjing) in 1842. Since then Swatow flourished as an important trading port on the South China coast.. The prosperity led to construction of luxurious homes and large temples. By tradition, the craftsmen of this area and in the city of Chaozhou were known to skillful in ship building and woodworking. The art of applying gold leaf and gilt painting on wood carving is a tour de force in this area.

The applied gold gilt covered the restorations. This is the only flaw. Much of the original gold is intact. Please keep in mind that homes and temples would be repainted when needed. So how much is the "original paint" or gold leaf was on is a good guess. The photographs were not taken at the same time, nor under the same conditions. Different lighting causes variations in the gold color. less
