The composition is richly layered, with deeply carved figures, palm trees, and architectural elements creating a dynamic sense of movement and depth.

Hand carved from hardwood, likely suar wood (rain tree), a material traditionally favored by Balinese artisans for narrative relief carving, the panel displays expressive detailing and a warm, natural patina. The carving is presented within its original carved wooden frame, which complements the organic flow and dimensional quality of the scene.

A striking and culturally resonant wall piece, well suited for collectors of Southeast Asian art as well as interior designers seeking texture, craftsmanship, and global character.
