This image displays a close-up, vertically oriented view of an intricately carved, gold-finished wooden panel. The panel features an openwork design composed of symmetrical floral and scrollwork motifs. Prominently at the top center, a stylized six-petal flower with a textured, grid-patterned core is framed by a decorative arch. Surrounding this central element and filling the visible area are elaborate swirling leaf and vine patterns, creating depth and shadow play. A plain, out-of-focus light-colored background is visible through the negative spaces of the carving. The gold finish reflects light, highlighting the three-dimensional relief of the wood. This decorative panel is located in Phouviang-Gnai, Laos.
