Large Chinese Four Panel Screen with Inset Stone
Chinese folding screens, which served originally as partitions painted with serious works, were not intended to be moved around fre¬quently. As with most Asian things there is symbolism in everything in the painting. For instance this crane stands for long life because of their long necks, the plum tree in the painting is first to flower, and therefore symbolizes new beginning and fertility.
