EXP Hand-carved 20" Camphor Wood "Blessings & Long Life" Wall Hanging

An exotic yet stunning presentation of Oriental blessings will add a conversation piece to your home decor with this exquisite, hand-carved artistic wall hanging. A gently carved, perfectly symmetrical Mandarin "peng" symbol, which alludes to the wish for a long life, is hewn from the center of the piece, supported by gracefully swirling floral style scrollwork. Encircling the center are five finely formed bats, wheeling capriciously through a sky of carved clouds. The image of five bats is a traditional Chinese symbol for life's five true blessings: longevity, prosperity, sound health, virtue and peace in the afterlife. Created by Beijing-based artisans, who apply their mastery of woodcraft to transform solid camphor wood into strikingly complex hand-crafted scenes, this exotic carving will add a unique Eastern accent to any room.
