{"product_id":"antique-bleached-wood-solar-eye-carved-igbo-door","title":"Antique Bleached Wood Solar Eye Carved Igbo Door","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 44-inch carved panel is Igbo work from southeastern Nigeria's Awka carving tradition, hand-hewn from a single two-inch-thick hardwood slab rather than assembled from multiple planks. Its size and proportions read more as a window shutter or small compound panel than a full entrance door. The carving centers on two horizontal lenticular eye forms filled with fine cross-hatching, framed above and below by nested diamond lozenges, with diagonal chevron bands running down each side and raised molded bands closing the top and bottom edges. A carved pivot lug survives at the top right corner, and a hairline shrinkage crack runs down the center of the panel, both original to the piece rather than damage. The patina is a warm honey-amber, consistent with genuine age. At 27 inches wide and 44 inches tall, it's sized for a smaller wall, above a console, beside a doorway, or as one piece in a grouped arrangement, rather than needing a full floor-to-ceiling stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Origin: Igbo tradition, Awka region, Anambra State, Southeastern Nigeria\u003cbr\u003e*Era: Early 20th century\u003cbr\u003e*Material: Hand-carved hardwood, monolithic single slab\u003cbr\u003e*Finish: Warm honey-amber patina, molded top and bottom bands\u003cbr\u003e*Dimensions: 27\"W x 2\"D x 44\"H\u003cbr\u003e*Condition: Genuine antique wear, hairline center shrinkage crack consistent with age, structurally stable, original pivot lug intact\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn antique Igbo carved wood panel from southeastern Nigeria's Awka tradition, hand-hewn from a single two-inch slab with lenticular eye motifs, diamond lozenges, and chevron bands, sized as a window shutter or small compound panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What makes a smaller Igbo carved panel like this one collectible compared to a full-size entrance door?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA: \u003c\/strong\u003eScale works in its favor here rather than against it. A 44-inch panel is easier to place than a 6-7 foot entrance door, it fits smaller walls and tighter room compositions, while still carrying the same deep-relief carving quality and monolithic single-slab construction that drives value in this category. Original details like the surviving pivot lug and honest age-related drying checks matter more to collectors than raw size alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(Requires White Glove Delivery)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e • **Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50538983457005,"sku":"IMG_6361","price":3225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/6361b.jpg?v=1787773020","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/antique-bleached-wood-solar-eye-carved-igbo-door","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
