For sale is an original and authentic Thai Handicraft Wood Carving from Chiang Mai, Thailand.
This magnificent carved wooden plaque was made from solid teak wood. It was handcrafted by a skillful Thai artisan. This large sculpture, at 24" round, depicts a Lotus flower which has significant religious importance for Thai culture. It is spectacular artwork in a round shape and has a very fine surface detail.
Because these wood sculptures were handmade from genuine teak wood, there will be some little flaws, such as small cracks and separations. These abnormalities occur due to the inherent natural shrinkage from the continuous drying of the wood. As the teak wood ages, some of the small splits may continue, but will not affect the functionality of the plaque. This is certainly normal for this type of wood and will actually add to the individual character and beauty of this Thai wood carving.
Also, since each wall art panel is hand chiseled, there may be some small differences between the actual piece received and the one photographed. There may be some minor imperfections or light wooden piece connections at the back as it is a human handicraft. The colors, patterns, and design will essentially be the same.
These wooden sculptures were created to reflect the importance of Buddha in Thai culture. In Buddhism the lotus flower is symbolic of one's purity in body, speech, and mind. The plant grows up and out of muddy water, resembling Buddha rising above the murkiness of life to achieve enlightenment.
This is a quality masterpiece Thai wood carving craftsmanship. It will look elegant as a centerpiece in any room. It is a splendid wall art decor for a yoga room, meditation room, living room, bedroom, spa or office. It would be a great gift idea for housewarming and all occasions.
