A HUANGHUALI SHRINE
LATE MING DYNASTY-EARLY QING DYNASTY
This shrine is shaped like a gatehouse. Three single boards are inserted into the base, and one on top creating the shrine cavity. The base stretchers are carved with curvilinear silhouettes and two uprights rise from the corners in front with low railings, encircling an anteroom-like space in front of the shrine cavity, the central part left open. Openwork carved panels of chi-dragons are inset into the railings. On top of the anteroom are eaves, guayan, on all three sides, inset with openwork panels of floral, shou character and antique coin pattern. The shrine cavity has long aprons on the sides while the one on top is fitted with short columns carved with lotus buds and leaves.
9 5/8 in. (24.4 cm.) wide, 9 5/16 in. (23.6 cm.) deep, 17 3/8 in. (44 cm.) high
