Beautiful ancient hand carved architectural panel from Toraja, Sulawesi. This impressive carving symbolizes courage and the protection of the home. Rare. Circa 1930. Originally used as an exterior panel. Great as a head board or art installation. Full dimensions; the top is 113” wide and bottom 82” wide. It can be installed either way.
This ancient carving 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.
