This beautiful piece of carved and painted wood is from Central Cottage Industries as well, which I’ve rediscovered after so long! They were tucked away in a bottom shelf and only when dusted did i spot the beautiful blues, reds, and pinks in this piece.
They are bought in pairs and fixed to the wall to hang lamps and other artifacts from. I thought one would look great just by itself.
Does anyone know which part of India they are made in? I tried to Google it but without a starting point other than wood carvings in India, it’s a far shot!

Love the carved piece—somehow, it reminds me of the details put into temple door-posts/pillars. But what I like even more is how you’ve styled it—that simple wooden stand+ brass urli and the orange wall—priceless!
They are from Tamil Nadu.The pairs can also be used as brackets for self esp. glass ones.
There is a less colourful but equally gorgeous version of this hanging in my parents’ home too. They have hung them on either side of an entrance way, framing it. I agree with GB, it always reminded me of temples 🙂 I am quite sure they are made in South India.
Hey thx Gagan :)…
I love the idea of them supporting a glass shelf Geetha. And as door framers Divya…
