Fully restored antique Chinese minority Yao Mein ceremonial painting. 

The hand painted artwork is painted with a Chinese Taoist Deity riding a horse. 

It was a Chinese temple decoration on an altar. 

Hand painted with excellent details and used mineral pigments such as cobalt blue. 

Painted on mulberry paper and fully restored.  

The border is made of Chinese silk. The bamboo styled frame is made of wood and painted in bamboo style. 

Excellent antique condition. 

Yao Mien paintings were painted by Chinese for minority groups, in this case the Burmese, to use in ceremonial worshiping.  

The original painting, would have been rolled up in a scroll and brought out to worship only during important occasions. 

The silk border was custom-made in Hong Kong and the bamboo frame was commissioned in Thailand. 

Excellent condition.  

Measurement of frame: 45.5 cm (L) x 29 cm (W) 

Weight: 1.25 kilogramme
