✦ Historical & Cultural Context
Temple carvings in India were not only decorative but deeply symbolic. Floral scrolls and natural motifs symbolised abundance, spiritual growth, and divine presence. These carvings were often positioned on beams, brackets, or archways within temple sanctums, where they enhanced the visual storytelling of sacred epics and served as a connection between the material and spiritual realms.

This particular piece, salvaged with care, allows a glimpse into the past where religion, art, and architecture merged into one holistic tradition of worship and expression.
