Antique Gilded Buddhist Temple Wood Carving Panel EUO138

This antique Buddhist temple panel was sculpted from teak wood and gilded in 24K gold leaf. It was once a part of an elaborate backboard for the main Buddha image, located inside the bot  (most sacred part of the wat or temple).

The sculpture includes two figures – a benevolent angel being elevated by a person of the world who recognizes and honors the one who has embraced the way to purification and so released from karmic debt through steadfastly adhering to the eight-fold noble path.

The sculpture is structurally intact and without repairs. It has been mounted on a stand for display.
