Wood Carving - The World Famous Sculpture of Nepal


Peacock Window
(A Nepalese fine wood carving)

The ancient city of Bhaktapur (Nepal) is adorned by artistic wooden doors and windows carved by the traditional sculptors- the Shilpakars, who have been contributing in this sphere from times untraceable. One of the most beautiful and famous of such windows is the Peacock Window.

With the peacock protruding from the center of the window, this master-piece of wood is sure to add an attraction to the Bhaktapur area of Nepal. The window can surely be used for adding add flavor to any decoration too.

This piece of peacock window is about 30 inches in height, 40 inches wide and 6 inches thick.
