Chinese Framed Gilt-Embroidered Panel with Peking Opera Figures.

The rectangular panel finely worked in gilt and colored threads, depicting a lively scene of Peking opera figures arranged in a narrative composition. The figures are shown in traditional theatrical costumes, their garments richly detailed with stylized patterns and delicate embroidery, conveying a sense of movement and performance. The embroidery is set against a muted ground, allowing the gilt accents to shimmer subtly across the surface. The panel is housed within an elaborately carved wooden frame, adorned with openwork scrolls and auspicious motifs, likely intended for placement on a domestic altar or theatrical setting. The combination of intricate needlework and ornate carving reflects both decorative and cultural significance.

{Approximate dimensions: H 32 inches x W 41 1/4 inches (81.3 x 104.8 cm)}

One of the four screws in the back is loose. For additional information, please contact the Asian Art Department.
