Description:

Central Asia, India, ca. 19th century CE. A fun and bright trio of openwork carved wooden borders depicting animals, both fabulous and real. The largest features two dragons with long, serpent-like bodies that meet in the center of the piece, surrounded by vines, with the word "KAMSA" printed in white in the center. Kamsa may refer to a Hindu mythological figure. The next panel features a horse and a monkey, again with a vine background. The third is a mirror image of the horse and monkey panel. These may have once topped an architectural feature or been part of an elaborate piece of furniture. Size of largest (dragons): 28.75" W x 10" H (73 cm x 25.4 cm)
