Carved Mural Panel Depicting A Burmese Apsara
About the Item
This exquisite hand-carved teakwood mural panel from Myanmar, crafted in the early 21th century, showcases a stunning depiction of a Burmese nat, or apsara. The panel, a substantial 3 inches thick, depicts the apsara dressed elegantly in traditional Burmese attire, standing gracefully on a lotus, symbolizing purity. Above her, peacocks, representing grace, add a touch of elegance to the scene. The mural is beautifully framed with a lotus petal motif, further enhancing its cultural significance and aesthetic appeal. The piece is hand-carved from teak, one of the worlds few "soft" hardwoods. The relative softness of teak, combined with its tight grain and resistance to moisture make it ideal for carving. This unique piece is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and rich artistic heritage of Myanmar.

A Multi-Tiered Carving of a Lotus Flower 46"
Located in Chicago, IL
The lotus flower has been a symbol of spiritual purity and enlightenment ever since the time of the Buddha. These wooden lotus flowers are meticulous reproductions of ceiling decorations found in Thai temples. In some temples, lotuses are painted directly on the ceiling. In other temples, they're elaborately carved, covered in gold and placed in the center of ceiling panels. Either way, their purpose is the same -to draw the eye of the worshiper toward heaven. . According to a Zen verse, “may we exist in muddy water with purity, like a lotus." The lotus grows out of the mud, rising upward to bloom in the sunlight, clean and perfect. These lotuses are hand-carved from wood and finished by artisans in Chiang Mai, Thailand, according to ancient designs. Shown here: a large multi-tiered lotus with an antique wood finish.
