Large apron on the front is framed on both sides by imposing supports carved with coiling crowned dragons and centered with a firebird in flight, exotic birds, scaled sea creatures and profusion of floral motifs.

Stable condition. Small surface cracks, small chips and light rubbing of the pigments are consistent with age. A small piece of wood carving is missing in the figure of the coiling dragon on the left side of the back panel. Couple of small losses of the blackwood on the reverse side of the back panel.
