A meticulously carved, rectangular, aged metallic relief panel, likely bronze or brass, is depicted in Diên Khánh, Vietnam. The central feature is an oval frame enclosing a dynamic relief of a mythical creature, resembling a Qilin or a dragon-lion hybrid. This creature, detailed with scales, a flowing mane, and a stylized tail, is shown striding on or emerging from swirling clouds, with its head turned to the right, holding a rectangular object or gift in its mouth. Surrounding the central oval, within the main rectangular frame, are additional intricate carvings. Two dragon heads emerge from stylized clouds in the upper left and right corners, facing inwards. In the lower left and right corners, two phoenix-like birds with ornate plumage are depicted, also facing the center. These elements are interspersed with stylized flame or wave patterns and representations of ancient circular coins. The outermost border of the panel is adorned with complex geometric motifs, including a meander or "key" pattern, and subtle floral elements. The entire piece exhibits a uniform, aged metallic finish. A warm, light brown background is visible through the openwork design.
