| A central apsara dancer is surrounded by three small attendants and a miniature horse in this carved teak wood panel from a Burmese temple complex. The scene depicts dancers performing classical drama, recalling ancient legends drawn from the epic, Ramayana, and retelling events from the Jataka, stories of the Buddha's many lives. Costumes and curved foliage show intricate detailing on the large pierced carving fashioned from a single piece of teak. The scene is framed with deep teak pieces that were hollowed and carved out in the back to emit a light pattern with depth and shadow. Originally displayed with other panels to show a series of dance-drama scenes, this mid-20th century piece is in very good condition. (See our catalogue item #10-90 for another scene in the series.) Dimensions: height 23-3/4" (60 cm), width 42" (107 cm), depth 1-1/2" (4 cm). | |||||||||
