Object/Artifact

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts two miniature folding screens placed on a table with a textured white surface. Each screen consists of several panels that showcase a dark, patterned exterior, bordered with ornate designs. These screens are reminiscent of traditional Asian folding screens, often used for decorative or partition purposes. In the background, there is a wooden door with a wire-mesh window, as well as a set of filing cabinets to the left. A small tag is attached to one of the screens, and a pencil lies on the table, suggesting a setting that could be a museum or library, where items are labeled and cataloged for archival purposes. The overall lighting is bright, casting clear shadows on the surface.
