About this work

This photo shows two carved panels framed in dark wood. The top panel has a group of robed figures carrying a draped structure, their faces blurred. Below it, the second panel depicts a busy scene with people in flowing robes and dramatic clouds, all carved in shallow relief. The photo itself is grainy and aged, taken in the 1800s to document these sculptures. The carvings look like they’re meant to tell a story, with lots of movement and emotion. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
