{"product_id":"carved-tribal-doors","title":"Tribal Carved Cedar Door Panel From Kullu - 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis striking 19th century carved cedar door panel from Kullu in the Himalayan region of North India is a powerful example of tribal architectural craftsmanship. Composed of fifteen individually carved panels, it features a rich combination of stylised animals and geometric mandala motifs, each framed within intricately carved borders. The deep relief carving and rhythmic grid-like composition give the piece a strong visual presence, while the aged cedar has developed a dark, timeworn patina that enhances its character and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally part of a traditional village home, panels such as this would have served both a functional and symbolic role, with the carved motifs often carrying protective or auspicious meanings. Today, it has been repurposed as a decorative wall piece, complete with sturdy hangers on the reverse, making it an exceptional piece of sculptural art for interior display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, North India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-carved cedar wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fifteen carved panels depicting animals and geometric mandalas, deep relief carving, geometric border detailing, original iron fittings and later hanging mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition with age-related wear, surface erosion, minor losses and a well-developed patina consistent with age and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W82 x D6 x H147 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Indigo Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40874183000175,"sku":"A03962","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/2522\/files\/19th_Century_Hand_Carved_Cedar_Door_Panel_From_Kullu_With_Animal_And_Geometric_Motifs_A03962.jpg?v=1775646370","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo-uk.com\/products\/carved-tribal-doors","provider":"Indigo Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
