Hello Kerry,

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay in your appraisal and thank you for your patience. The item presented appears to be an assemblage of what appears to be wood chippings or possibly fabrics. The object is stated to measure 9 1/2 and 14 3/4 inches and it appears to depict birds on a branch in the Chinese style. The work appears to date to the mid 20th century. Unfortunately, we are unable to translate the script to the margin.

The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of other comparable mid-century Chinese artwork depicting birds, not attributed to a specific artist. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
