A very old delicate Chinese cork picture that shows a high level of artistry.

A watercolor paper painted in shades of blue is mounted behind a design of an island temple within a garden, a moon bridge, sailing boat and flying birds, all crafted out of very delicate pieces of cork. There are clouds and mountains off in the distance. The picture has a blue fabric mat and an elaborate wooden frame painted a greenish color with gold highlights. The picture has an old paper backing with a green wire for hanging.
