Pair Of Gilt Wooden South Indian Statues 7"W X 5 1/2" D X 21"H

An enchanting pair of gilt carved wooden statues, each piece a reflection of the rich cultural heritage of South India. Possibly crafted in the 18th or 19th century or later, these figures depict the finesse of traditional temple art—a style renowned for its divine beauty and intricate craftsmanship. The gilded statues are likely made from the revered Indian rosewood or teak, woods known for their durability and deep, lustrous hues. Over time, the gilding has developed a unique patina and chipped that adds to their mystique and showcases their age.

One statue, with a serene countenance, is depicted in a stance of devotion, with hands pressed together in a Namaste—a gesture of respect and a common greeting in India. The other, a poised celestial dancer, captures the fluidity and dynamic movement of traditional Indian dance forms.

These figures may have once adorned a temple or served as spiritual icons in a household shrine. Now, they stand ready to imbue your space with a sense of history and spirituality, making them a perfect acquisition for collectors and connoisseurs of Asian art and antiques.
