Antique hand carved architectural panel from Toraja Land. This impressive carving symbolizes courage, protection of the home, good fortune and leadership. Originally used as an exterior panel. A beautiful piece of art or a head board.
This panel was sourced in the spirit of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
