An Indian wood panel from the late 19th century takes the form of a rectangular wall plaque depicting zoomorphic Arabic calligraphy praising God, the prophet Mohammed, and Imam Ali, shaped as a falcon. The carved wooden piece displays polychrome paint in green and red with a distressed finish, showing a bird figure against a red background and a carved floral border around the outer edge. The item measures 127 cm high, 92 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. Suitable for interior display, the plaque hangs securely on a wall above a sideboard in a living room, dining area, or hallway to add traditional Islamic art style and maximalist character to the space. The surface reveals visible wear on the painted timber, highlighting its historical age and decorative craftsmanship.

FAQs

Zoomorphic calligraphy is a traditional Islamic art form where Arabic script is arranged to form the silhouette of an animal, bird, or object, combining literary meaning with visual representation.

These panels are typically hand-carved from hardwoods such as walnut, teak, or pine, using relief carving techniques before being painted, gilded, or finished with natural pigments.

Authentic pieces display hand-tool marks, uneven relief depths, natural age cracking along the wood grain, and original layered paint or pigment wear that shows exposure over time.

A carved plaque works well as a focal point above a sideboard or console table, integrated into a curated gallery wall, or contrasted against clean, minimalist neutral backgrounds.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources, high humidity, or direct sunlight to prevent flaking and cracking of the painted finish.
