Unfortunately I do not know much about the history of this piece and I'm admittedly not well versed in antique art. I've been told this was painted on silk, but I do not know that for a fact. With all that being said, I took a lot of photos, please view them all for more details and feel free to ask any questions you may have and I will try to answer to the best of my ability.
If you are looking at this item, it's very likely you know more about it than I do###128518. Anyway, it's a beautiful, unique piece.
