AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An excellent example of an old stone Hindu household altar, originating from Rajasthan, India.

The altar comes from the interior wall of an old house. It is in good condition and very atmospheric. The small Buddha and the candle serve as examples of how the altar can be used atmospherically and are not included.

The dimensions are 26.5 x 19 x 15 cm and the altar weighs 14.3 kg.

The altar is carefully packaged and shipped with track and trace.

Seller's Story

Rootz Gallery has an extensive collection of remarkable art objects from the non-Western world and a collection of modern and contemporary art. The art collection originally started with the gathering of modern and contemporary art. Due to a long-standing fascination with other cultures, it was quickly expanded to include non-Western art objects. The gallery has primarily focused on non-Western art for a long time, but has recently also refocused on modern and contemporary art. Many pieces originate from ritual contexts and have been carefully collected over a period of 40 years. The items, often acquired during travels and coming from old collections, offer a unique insight into authentic cultures and traditions.
