Product description
Rare 19th-Century South Indian Temple Panel – Ganesha This impressive, hand-carved panel depicts the Hindu deity Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. This object originates from a temple complex in South India (likely Tamil Nadu) and dates back to the early 19th century. It is a rare example of surviving polychrome temple art. Authentic Pigments & Craftsmanship The panel is carved from a single block of solid hardwood. The original mineral pigments (deep red, ocher, and green) are beautifully preserved, giving the object a museum-quality appearance. The top is crowned by a Kirtimukha, a mythological creature that offers protection to the sacred space. Audit & Condition This piece has been audited for authenticity by 1stBuddha. The natural craquelure, the deep oxidation on the reverse side, and the absence of synthetic dyes confirm its age of approximately 200 years. An honest and unrestored masterpiece for the serious collector.
