Unique and beautiful hand painted table top divider screen composed of rosewood and agate stone. Underneath each of the four panels, there is a lighter colored wood trim. Brass hinges. The agate stone on which the hand painted scenes are painted has a silvery sparkle in the background which reflects both natural and artificial light. When you run your finger over the scenes on the bird and flower side, you can feel the raised embossing of the hand painting. The detail is remarkable.
This divider screen has two different types of scenes on each side. One side is hand painted with flowers, bamboo leaves and a variety of birds. The other side is hand painted with mountain and foliage scenes.
The age of this piece is estimated to be from the 1940s.
When laid flat, this piece measures 11 3/4" wide and stands 8" tall. The depth (thickness) of the wood framing is approximately 1/2".
