Painted Teak Votive Panel From Andra Pradesh - Ca 1910 Opera Chests Lacquered with a classic burgundyThis particularly excellent antique Indian votive panel has been painted in vibrant tones, the style, imitating local architecture. The windows would often house small god figures and would be hung on a wall. You often find these pieces stained with tika as they were used daily for puja (Hindu daily prayers). These collectible panels look best hung on a wall as a group and this particular panel would be a real centerpiece for a collection. Supplied
