| Lacy foliage swirls around two dancing apsaras on this large, intricately carved mid-20th century teak panel from Burma. The scene, carved from one piece of wood, is set within a deep teak frame carved in a scrolling pattern punctuated with flowers. The thick teak pieces used for the frame were hollowed, then carved out in the back so light can be seen through the frame. Originally used in a Burmese temple complex along with other panels showing different scenes, this panel's carving comes alive when displayed against back lighting soft enough to allow the delicate details of faces and costumes to be seen. The piece is in excellent condition. Dimensions: height 23-1/2" (60 cm), width 41" (104 cm), depth of frame 1-1/2" (4 cm). | |||||||||
