Exquisite Thai Craftsmanship: Hand-Carved Apsara in Wai (Sawasdee) Posture Pair
Introduce an element of peace and warm hospitality with this magnificent pair of hand-carved wood panels featuring the Apsara (Celestial Dancer) in the iconic "Wai" (Sawasdee or Praying Hands) posture. Inspired by Lanna and ancient Khmer art, the "Wai" gesture is a sacred and universal symbol of respect, welcome, and blessing, making this pair perfect for flanking entrances or central areas designed to greet guests. The meticulous detail in the traditional attire, jewelry, and the surrounding Kānok (flame) motifs highlights the superior skill of the Thai artisan.
Premium Material: Crafted from Chamchuree Wood (also known as Rain Tree Wood or Samanea Saman), a material highly favored in Northern Thailand for its beautiful, durable grain pattern and suitability for intricate carving work.
Impressive Scale: At a striking height of 120 cm (approx. 47 inches), this pair serves as an immediate focal point, enhancing the architecture of walls, doorways, or pillars.
Auspicious and Welcoming: The Apsara in the Wai position evokes a profound sense of serenity and good fortune. It is an ideal piece for businesses or homes aiming to project a warm, respectful, and traditional Thai aesthetic.
Versatile Application: Excellent for contemporary Thai-style homes, luxury hotels, resorts, spas, yoga studios, or fine dining establishments that wish to convey a message of genuine welcome.
