Antique Indian Hand-Carved Teakwood Wall Décor | Early-1900s Human & Animal Motif Panel | Tribal Folk Art

Bring a fragment of India’s heritage into your home with this Antique Hand-Carved Teakwood Wall Décor, a rare early-20th-century artefact depicting villagers and animals in dynamic relief. Crafted by rural artisans around 1900, this piece captures everyday life—human figures in procession alongside horses or cattle—expressing the deep connection between community, livelihood, and nature.

✦ Heritage Craftsmanship & Tribal Storytelling

Carved from dense old-growth teakwood, this panel embodies the narrative style of Indian tribal folk art. Each figure is chiselled with rustic hand tools, leaving visible tool marks that preserve the authenticity of the work. Its original matte black finish enhances the silhouettes, giving depth and contrast to the human and animal motifs.

This is more than décor—it is a visual story of ritual, culture, and resilience, now reimagined as a striking wall-mounted artwork for modern interiors.
