Chinese Birds and Fish Paintings
This collection is composed of 6 paintings. 3 depict birds and 3 depict fish. Though the original label suggests the paintings are Japanese, it has been determined that the paintings may be done on pith paper and match closely with souvenirs brought form artisans in China in the early 19th century.
