Hand Carved Wood Relief Panel Of A Thai Deva Angel- Angel Grace

In Thailand, devas, or "angels," are beings of exquisite grace and beauty that live in the heaven of sensuous pleasure. They often visit Earth to help and protect humanity, or to bring messages from the gods. Working in the style of Burma, Tay Nontawat creates an exquisite deva, demonstrating the graceful movements known as leela. Raintree wood is the artisan's medium, lending its grain to a swirling arabesque of leafy tendrils.
