About the Item

Intricately hand-carved, the panel depicts a central medallion of a lotus flower and leaves from Thailand and made from teak wood. Originally these circular medallions were found only on temple ceilings and usually covered in gold leaf. The chief significance of the lotus is as a metaphor for Buddhist practice: the lotus grows out of the mud and up through muddy waters to bloom in the sunlight, clean and perfect. The follower of the Buddha and the eightfold path should strive to do likewise. This modern lotus medallion has been finished with an antique-inspired mineral paint. The resulting patina is rich and textured.

Carved Teak Indian Temple Column
Located in Chicago, IL
This monumental Indian column once supported part of the entrance or courtyard cloister in a grand mansion. Originally part of a series, this individual column is all that remains. The piece comes in multiple stacked segments, distributing the weight of the original structure from its floral motif capital through its stone plinth. Only one is available. Origin: Rajasthan, India, 19th century. During the colonial period, Indian traders amassed huge fortunes and some of that wealth found its way into mansions and palaces. A hundred or more years later, many (if not most) of these structures are obsolete or the fortunes of their owners have dwindled. Many are in urban areas in which land is very valuable now and aggressively sought for multi-storey buildings. Old single-storey mansions are often disassembled piece-by piece and the parts sold on the international market. India is one of very few countries that have the labor supply to decommission old structures in this meticulous way. The column could be used in an architectural, load-bearing way or as a free-standing decoration...
