Antique Early 20th-Century Indian Hand-Carved Teakwood Wall Décor | Animal Relief Motif with Elephant & Horse | Tribal Folk Art

Step into a world of craftsmanship and cultural storytelling with this Antique Indian Hand-Carved Teakwood Wall Décor, a striking piece carved in the early 1900s. Rich with tribal symbolism and earthy elegance, this wall-mounted artwork showcases a beautifully detailed elephant and horse, accompanied by intricate foliage and traditional scrollwork—typical of rural haveli or temple embellishments.

✦ Handcrafted Heritage & Symbolism

Carved from dense reclaimed teakwood, this antique wall décor reflects India’s age-old tradition of narrative wood carving. Animals like elephants and horses symbolised strength, protection, and noble lineage, often featured in architectural friezes to bring luck and prestige to the home. The delicate yet bold relief style offers a dynamic sense of movement and depth, drawing the eye and sparking curiosity.

This artefact isn’t just a decorative object—it’s a piece of functional storytelling that once adorned the walls of sacred or domestic spaces in rural India. Its time-worn surface and original patina further enhance its historical allure, celebrating imperfections as part of its long journey through time.
