COLLECTOR'S ITEMS

The art of wood carving is almost as old as mankind. The early man used wood to make spears, tools, and other necessities. Later the skill turned into art, producing many intricate and ingenious masterpieces. Our collection is one of the finest in Nepal, available for sale only to those who appreciate.

STATUES

Nepali religious art was the prevalent mode of artistic expression in a country that put spiritual development above all else. For centuries, traditions in painting, statue making and wood carving thrived, forming a core heritage that is still being passed on from master artisan to disciple. The traditional carving of spiritual symbolism reflects Newar intelligence and artistic temperament in expressing their perspective. Our collection of statues represent aspects of both Hinduism and Buddhism, which in Nepal is deemed as one.

These tables, chests and cabinets which come in many shapes and sizes feature vivid but intricate work with hollowed-out engravings. Our collection is a testament to the amazing artistry of our wood carvers.
