About the Item
This exquisite antique teak wood panel hails from the culturally rich island of Java, Indonesia, and features a meticulously hand-carved and hand-painted depiction of a Wayang scene — the traditional Javanese shadow puppet theatre that illustrates epic tales from Hindu mythology, such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Carved from solid teak wood, known for its durability and rich grain, the panel showcases a dramatic confrontation between mythical figures, including gods, warriors, and animal-like characters rendered in the distinctive stylized form of Wayang Kulit puppetry. The figures are adorned in traditional attire, with vibrant yet time-worn hues of red, green, gold, and white, embodying the spiritual and symbolic depth of Javanese storytelling. Dating back to the early 20th century, this piece was originally used either as architectural décor celebrating the island’s revered puppet theatre tradition. The intricate detailing and weathered patina enhance its antique charm, making it not only a visually captivating artwork
