Carved Teak Votive Panel From Andrah Pradesh - 19th Century Wardrobes It is made from wovenThis late 19th century carved teak votive panel originates from Andhra Pradesh in South India and was traditionally created by tribal communities to decorate the walls of village huts and small domestic shrines.

Their deeply carved surfaces and weathered patina give them a striking sculptural quality.
