Description:
This antique Indian wooden bracket, also known as a corbel, is presented as a decorative sculpture on a sleek modern metal stand. Originally handcrafted, such brackets were architectural elements in traditional Indian homes and temples, supporting beams, doorways, or pillars. Made from solid hardwoods like teak or mango wood, it features a rich natural patina and traces of original paint. The intricate carvings reflect traditional Indian folk motifs, including floral designs, scrollwork, and stylized animals such as birds, elephants, and lions. Estimated to be 50–100 years old, this piece beautifully showcases the harmony of functional craftsmanship and artistic heritage.
