RARE Vintage dyed SNAKE SKIN on silk mosaic painting Chinese crane wall Art For Sale

This is a very rare and unusual item, and clearly vintage if not antique. The images of sun, trees and cranes are made from dyed Snake Skin, cut into intricate shapes and sizes to form these beautiful shapes filled with minute details and applied to handpainted silk which is mounted on wood. A mixed media beauty of Asian handiwork. Truly an amazing work of art. It appears to have been in a frame at one point but now it is unframed. The over all measurements are 12\" wide by 18\" tall, .25\" thick. The image is in very good condition. The corners have worn through the silk, a new frame would conceal these. See the pictures as part of the full description.
