Hand-painted in bright red, green and yellow, all of it muted now by a hundred and thirty years of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was brought back to the US by an interior designer, and it has already lived a second life: a previous owner used it as a headboard, cutting the footers at the back and adding a support board. Everything else is original. At 43 inches wide and 76 inches tall it works as a wall piece, a headboard, a room divider or a door — the 8-inch top fragment lifts off if you need the shorter proportion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate 19th century, Tibet \/ China · item no.
