AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful architectural element from Rajasthan, presented on a blackened metal base.
Era: around 1850 Material: teak
Condition: very good. I should note, however, that the bird's stylized head is, in my opinion, a recent restoration, but this does not take away from its beauty.
Very deeply carved sculptures
Height including the base: 40 cm. The base measures 12.5 x 12.5 cm at the bottom and has a visible height of 14 cm.
The teak element itself measures 26 cm high, 17 cm long and 14 cm deep.
Weight of the ensemble: 3975 g.
Retired antique dealer specializing in Asian arts, my positive appraisal rate is 100%. I only sell antique objects acquired on-site during my many travels. These are by no means reproductions.
To allow you to appreciate the quality of the object, I am attaching numerous photos taken from various angles. These photos are an integral part of the description. All photos were taken in natural light.
Carefully packaged, this item will be delivered to your home by bpost Belgium.
