About This Piece
A horse and landscape scene fill a long rectangular plaque below a shallow upper crest. The reverse is mostly plain, with warm colour visible near the lower portion under backlighting.
Carving details and what to examine
Read the landscape from its outer outline toward the smaller architectural and natural details. Changes in spacing and carved depth can suggest distance on a small surface. Side-lit close-ups help distinguish raised details from shadows cast by studio lighting.
