An Indian architectural lintel is a horizontal beam usually made from thick wood placed over doors or windows in traditional Indian architecture. It serves as a support for the structure above and also as a decorative element, often carved with intricate designs, motifs, and sculptures. The lintel is a common feature in Hindu and Buddhist temples, palaces, and other monumental buildings from ancient to medieval times in India.
This antique Indian lintel features a finely carved scrolled motif alternating with a tribal bell shape figure. Carving has a washed sun bleached teak finish and shows age and wear, including some chips and cracks.
