This temple relief was purchased from a late 19th century upstate NY garden. This lovely Buddhist carving is in an as found state taken directly from the garden where it sat for the last century The family legend is that this was bought in Siam at the turn of the century around 1898. The relief is broken from a larger section & is irregular in shape and may once have been part of a temple complex. The reliefs actual age is unknown to us so we have decided to assume that it can be no older then the family’s purchase date The deep relief work shows Buddha with many attendants, mythical animals, birds, and foliage. The stone’s surface is heavily encrusted in lichen and surface growth from its years of exposure.exposure. While some losses and wear have occurred the details are still sharply visible and highly decorative. ]
