Balinese Temple Relief Panel – Hand-Carved & Polychrome This impressive, large-scale Balinese relief panel immediately commands attention. Richly hand-carved in hardwood and finished in traditional polychrome and gilt, it depicts a central divine figure above two standing attendants, framed by elaborate floral and geometric ornamentation. The expressive faces, layered carving depth, and vibrant pigments are characteristic of high-end Balinese temple and palace woodcarving. These rare panels were traditionally used as architectural or devotional elements in Hindu temples and ceremonial buildings in Bali. The iconography, symmetry, and refined detailing reflect the island’s long artistic tradition, where craftsmanship, spirituality, and storytelling are inseparably linked. Pieces of this scale and quality were not made for the tourist market, but for architectural or ritual contexts. In a solid great overall condition, with a beautiful, naturally aged surface.
