Description
A collection of three oval-shaped decorative panels identified through market consensus as vintage silk Japanese paintings. Each panel features a brightly colored, illustrative scene depicting figures in stylized Himalayan landscapes against a black ground. The subjects include a traveler in purple robes holding a staff, a figure in red robes holding a prayer wheel, and a woman harvesting tea leaves. The highly pigmented colors are applied to a rigid substrate, likely silk mounted to board, consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century decorative Asian art. The technique incorporates reflective material, possibly mother-of-pearl or shell inlay, used to depict elements such as snow, clouds, or architectural highlights. No visible text, signatures, or artist markings are present on the panels.
