Pair of stately sculptures made of bamboo. The bas-reliefs show a pair of dignified figures dressed in festive, lavishly decorated clothes. Both the man and the woman carry wicker baskets with collected flowers on their backs. They are surrounded by a skilfully presented landscape with rocks, trees and flowers. The whole is decorated with small applications of mother of pearl.
