Carving, Myanmar (formerly Burma), South East Asia
Teak sculpture, in raised relief carved from a single piece of wood. It is possibly a statue of a Nat. Nats are a group of deities, including spirits of trees, rivers, lakes and ancestors. They are said to enjoy a peaceful existence and can become angry if due respect is not given them. In Myanmar today many people worship Nats alongside the official religion of Buddhism. This sculpture was possibly part of a larger building; possibly part of a pagoda wall or door frame. TRURI: 1950.46.5

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable teak sculpture from Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, in South East Asia. Crafted with utmost precision and skill, the carving is a stunning example of raised relief artistry, meticulously carved from a single piece of wood. Believed to depict a Nat, one of the revered deities in Burmese culture, this sculpture embodies the spiritual connection between humans and nature. Nats are an integral part of Myanmar's religious landscape, encompassing spirits that reside within trees, rivers, lakes, and even ancestors. Revered for their peaceful existence, Nats can become wrathful if not shown due respect. In present-day Myanmar, many individuals worship these divine beings alongside Buddhism - the country's official religion. The intricate teak sculpture featured here was likely once part of a larger architectural structure such as a pagoda wall or door frame. Its rich brown hue adds warmth to its wooden texture while emphasizing the cultural significance embedded within every intricately carved detail. Captured by photographer Mike Searle and housed at the Royal Cornwall Museum under TRURI: 1950.46.5 classification; this image serves as both an artistic marvel and a testament to Myanmar's vibrant spirit-filled heritage.
