Teak Chofa Ornament
About the Item
" Chofa, loosely translated as "Tassel of Air". Such carvings were used on either end of a building rooftop as a representation of a mythical bird or Garuda. They can range in sizes up to twelve feet tall and would have originally been elaborately decorated with bright colors, colored glass and brass bells. This one has a great yellow color and some of the glass still remains. " Kelly
