About the Item

The Chinese mustard soapstone carving from the mid-20th century, depicting a village scene centered around a tree, is a captivating piece of art with a distinct color palette and a focus on nature and community. Mustard soapstone, known for its warm and earthy tones, lends a unique character to the carving. The mustard-colored soapstone serves as a warm and inviting canvas for the village scene.

Incorporating 20th-century elements, the carving features vintage attire,
