One plaque is decorated with a mountainous riverside landscape scene
featuring magnifcent, tall pine trees in the foreground and fgures at leisure,
below an inscription eulogising the beauty of the pine trees, followed by a date
which may be translated as 'autumn month of the cyclical year of renxu' which
corresponds to 1992 and the signature of the artist Chen Yaoxing. The other
plaque is decorated with another mountainous landscape scene, depicting
a waterfall, fgures crossing a bridge to reach thatched huts and small boats
in the distance. The inscription to the top right of the depicted scene praises
the beauty of the multiple colours displayed by the mountains and describes
how the waterfall fows into the river, followed by the same date and artist's
signature. Both plaques are set with elaborately carved and pierced hongmu
frames in imitation of bamboo, detailed with grape vines.
