About This Piece
A pavilion and tree occupy the lower side of a landscape plaque beneath a shaped crest. Yellow-brown skin is retained near the base, and the close-up shows the small leaf and roof details.
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.
