Zelkova Wood Carving Frame "Crane's Nest" - Custom Order from Artist

A celebratory piece.
How about using it as a New Year's hanging decoration for Spring 2026?
Half a century ago, I commissioned a renowned local woodcarver who was interested in art. The grain of the zelkova wood was used as a nest, creating a scene of cranes nesting. This is a work by Mr. Iga Sandai (Masahide Hanto) from Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture. I paid 150,000 yen for it.
It was displayed during auspicious occasions and in preparation for spring. It is a still image of cranes that conveys gentleness, tranquility, and the breath of life.
I am downsizing due to moving to a smaller residence and am organizing my belongings. I am listing this item hoping someone will appreciate it.
As it is an antique, I have marked it as scratched and dirty, but there are no scratches or dirt other than those due to age.
It is in the realm of antiques and fine art. I kindly ask those who can appreciate the patina of age as a sign of its history to consider it.
I occasionally applied walnut oil.
It is in beautiful condition. The size is shown in the images. The zelkova wood has a substantial weight. I have a handmade paper box for it. The color of the zelkova wood has gradually deepened, enhancing its dignified appearance.
