Chinese New Year Decorations

This piece showcases a collection of traditional Chinese New Year decorations. At the top, four golden diamond-shaped paper cutouts feature bold red Chinese characters, vertically spelling out "恭贺新禧" (Gōnghè Xīnxǐ), which translates to "Happy New Year" or "Wish you a happy new year." Below, a graceful branch adorned with stylized orange plum blossoms symbolizes resilience and renewal. Complementing these are soft golden cloud motifs, often associated with good fortune. The artwork concludes with a charming golden paper-cut dog, intricately decorated with red patterns, representing the zodiac animal and bringing good cheer for the Lunar New Year festivities.
