About This Piece
A green landscape plaque is attached to a substantial carved chain. A wide open field separates the upper mountain scene from the lower pavilion, with the links arranged beside the panel in the full views.
Carving details and what to examine
The carved chain should be examined link by link as well as together with the plaque. Close views of the link interiors and joining points help assess the finish; a photograph of the whole assembly is needed to understand how it hangs without putting strain on the connections.
