Description :

The encaustic artwork is created using wax, resin, and pigment, incorporating art/photo transfers, carved details, and embedded natural elements. The design features Asian calligraphy and pressed botanical imagery, giving it a serene, Zen-inspired aesthetic. The back is labeled and signed.
