Hand-carved wood figure of a Southeast Asian guardian/angel (often called Thepanom/Thepphanom) in the classic wai/anjali prayer pose. Gold leaf/paint over gesso with dark lacquer accents; red lacquered back. Nicely detailed headdress and costume rosettes. Hardware on the back for wall hanging (was likely made as a decorative temple-style panel/architectural element).

Orientation: flat back; hangs on a wall (hook present)

Size: approx. ~17" H x 8" W x 3" D

Era: vintage, mid–late 20th c.

Perfect statement piece for entryways, yoga/meditation rooms, or eclectic boho interiors.
