Scaled legs and a ring of beasts fill the lower half, and the wood has darkened to a deep brown with red paint still showing in the recesses. Thai carvers have long filled temple doors with guardians and mythical beasts, each figure meant to keep harm outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 60 inches tall and 21.5 inches wide, it works as a vertical focal point on a plain wall, beside a doorway or behind a console. The deep relief shifts with the light through the day, so the figure looks different from morning to evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early 20th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thailand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carved wood with traces of red paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.5\"(W) x 1.5\"(D) x 60.5\"(H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark brown with red paint traces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wear consistent with age and use, part of its character and historical value.

It suits a plain wall, a doorway or a console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How are Thai wood carvings made?\u003cbr\u003eA: Thai relief carvings are cut by hand into wood planks, with the figure raised against a background of vines and flowers. Paint or lacquer was often added afterward, which is why traces of red remain in the deepest cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What decor style suits an antique Thai carved panel?\u003cbr\u003eA: It works in eclectic, Asian-inspired and organic modern rooms, and it pairs well with linen, rattan and plain plaster walls.
