This finely detailed 19th-century teak lintel was salvaged from a traditional building in Gujarat, western India. Once set above a doorway as both a structural and decorative element, the panel showcases a series of hand-carved elephants and floral scrollwork framing a central kalaśa inviting prosperity, purity, and divine presence into the home.

The elephants - ”symbols of wisdom, power, and protection - are beautifully rendered in shallow relief, framed by curling vines and leafy tendrils. Remnants of old green and white pigment highlight the carving's depth and enhance its weathered beauty.

Though originally architectural, this piece now lends itself perfectly to decorative use in modern interiors. Whether mounted above a fireplace, doorway, or used as a horizontal wall sculpture, the lintel brings a strong sense of history and craftsmanship to any setting. Supplied with sturdy hangers.
