I have two remarkable and fabulous panels which are extremely rare. This is the first. I believe they were used in temples. The gold was beaten onto fine paper and cut into narrow strips, which are then glued to the silk ground. I wonder whether these were produced in China for the Japanese market? These pieces would look stunning mounted and framed. We can do this for you.
