About the Item

A striking hand-carved wooden chair from Bhutan, dating to the 20th century. This distinctive piece showcases traditional Bhutanese craftsmanship, with intricate geometric and symbolic carvings throughout. The backrest, arms, and seat feature finely detailed relief work, including a stylized fish motif- a symbol of prosperity and abundance in Himalayan art.
