Antique Hand-Carved Indian Teakwood Wall Décor | Tribal Procession Panel | Circa Early 1900s
Celebrate the artistry of India’s folk traditions with this antique hand-carved teakwood wall panel, a rare early-1900s artefact alive with rhythm and storytelling. Carved from dense old-growth teak, the panel depicts a dynamic tribal procession of figures—musicians, dancers, and villagers—capturing the essence of rural life and communal celebration. Above the figures, a pierced jali (lattice) crown adds both texture and light-play, a classic architectural element of Indian heritage.
✦ Folk Art & Cultural Legacy
Panels such as this were once set into havelis (mansions) or rural dwellings, where storytelling through carving was both decorative and symbolic. The primitive yet expressive chiselling reflects indigenous craft traditions, with each figure animated in movement. The addition of jali detailing recalls India’s broader architectural heritage—used for ventilation, light filtering, and geometric symbolism—infusing the piece with layered meaning.
