About This Piece
Long lotus stems run up a narrow rectangular plaque. A large leaf fills the upper corner, with more deeply cut plant forms gathered near the base.
Carving details and what to examine
The plant forms invite a close look at the meeting points between petals, leaves and the surrounding ground. Compare these small details with the larger outline to judge the balance of the design. Side lighting is useful for seeing depth without mistaking a cast shadow for a carved line.
Material and stated origin
