Carved Teak Votive Panel From Andrah Pradesh - 19th Century Wardrobes lassi — a cooling yoghurt-basedThis late 19th century carved teak votive panel originates from Andhra Pradesh in South India and was traditionally created by tribal communities to decorate the walls of village huts and small domestic shrines. Panels such as these were symbolic objects associated with devotion and protection, often representing a favoured deity or sacred architectural form. Their deeply carved surfaces and weathered patina give them a striking sculptural quality.
