It is an authentic 'San Jhyā' (triple window), crafted from solid teak (\u003cem\u003eTectona grandis\u003c\/em\u003e). This specific object is distinguished by a 19th-century sculptural core that was expertly integrated into a renovated frame in the 1960s, executed according to the strict Newari tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Provenance \u0026 Legal Status\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn today's antique market, provenance history is of decisive importance for value. This portal has been in a private German collection since circa 1965.

The deep, stable patina is the result of over 60 years of exposure to a controlled European indoor climate.\n\nConstruction:\nThe renovation, carried out in Nepal prior to export in the 1960s, utilizes traditional wood joints.
