About the Item

This giant architectural element once graced the pediment of a Northern Thai temple. It is from Chiang, Mai, Thailand and entirely made from Teakwood, which is naturally resistant to insects and moisture. Old Thai temples were mostly made from this very durable and previously quite available material. Many of these structures are now quite obsolete and in disrepair. Or torn down. Valuable decorative elements are salvaged and sold on the international market. The piece is decorated in writhing vines and colored with natural pigments that have faded and washed away over time. It was once placed directly over the entry. Today, the pediment makes a truly stunning headboard in a fantasy bedroom or a dramatic piece of art on a wall in a great room or entrance. Such pieces are now very rare as old wooden temples are mostly gone, replaced with masonry structures.
