With an old Chinese wood frame, possibly original to the plaque, and painted to the backside with a floral design in black lacquer.
Journey to the West (Xiyouji), is an epic 16th-century novel fictionalizing the actual journey of the historical figure of Xuanzang (602–664) who made a pilgrimage to India to collect Buddhist sutras. During the eventful trip, the honest but hapless Buddhist monk is accompanied by Sun Wukong, a tempestuous and powerful monkey king recently released from a supernatural prison, Zhu Bajie, a greedy pig-like demon, and Sha Wujing, a quiet and sensible river spirit. The troupe suffer a series of increasingly dangerous trials but eventually prevail, finally bringing the true word of Buddha back to the Tang Imperial court.
