This wonderfully detailed bird is just one small piece of the amazing 10 panel Imperial Screen. This screen was presented to the Chinese Emperor Qianlong in 1791 and brought to the US for the 1939 Worlds Fair in San Francisco. The piece never returned to China do to political unrest and was eventually purchased by Joseph Lizzadro for the collection. Can you imagine the time it would take to carve and assemble something so intricate?
