This authentic panel originally formed part of the monumental structure of a Hindu temple or a ceremonial processional chariot (ratha).\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe refined relief is constructed with extreme detail in multiple registers. In the lower register is the centrally positioned elephant god **Ganesha** (the remover of obstacles), flanked by ritual worshippers. The upper register depicts various deities and celestial dancers (apsaras) in dynamic, classical poses. The base is powerfully supported by a frieze of meditating figures.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe object is in a sublime, weathered condition. Over the decades, the hardwood has developed a deep, weathered patina. The mild wear on the texture and the natural movement of the wood bear witness to the historical and ceremonial context. The back shows the original, recessed architectural construction with the authentic manual tool marks of the master carver.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nAn exclusive, museum-worthy object with a strong spiritual presence. Perfectly suitable as a standalone art object in a high-end, serene, or Wabi-Sabi interior. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a6d3b; font-size: 20px; margin-top:40px; margin-bottom: 15px; font-weight: normal;\"\u003eProduct specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee; width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObject\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eArchitectural relief panel \/ Temple frieze\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHindu pantheon including Ganesha and apsaras\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eIndia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eLate 19th century \/ early 20th century (c. 1900)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHand-carved hardwood (teak\/rosewood) with natural patina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e22.0 cm (Height) x 30.5 cm (Width)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eExcellent antique condition.
