    I am unsure what to call this artwork, but is clearly from Asia. Measurements are 7.5" x 1.5" x 6.5"- w/o the frame. Material is made of wood, then painted over with gold. The scene is a master on horseback being fanned by a servant. Looks like two townspeople to his right, with a female carrying an item to his left. Any ideas to the origin of this type of work? Thanks! IMG_1544.JPG IMG_1545.JPG IMG_1548.JPG

    Yes, it is, from China, and beautiful.
    The scenes on these panels are usually from mythology, legend, or other well-known stories.
    The scene looks like an official with Ruyi scepter dismounting and being welcomed into a house, maybe his own house.
    Originally panels like yours were part of a house or a piece of furniture. As shown in these photos:

    (I posted the photos before in another thread.)

    That is quite a bed! Must have been from a very wealthy person? What would you guess the dating would be?

    It is called a wedding bed, yes, you'd have to be wealthy to have one of those.
    Could you show us photos of the entire front and back?
