Object Details

Catalogue Note

Type: five-piece Buddhist altar surround | Assembled height: approx. 200 cm | Origin: Myanmar | Period: ca. 1890–1910

A monumental carved-teak architectural ensemble made to frame a Buddha altar. The surviving five pieces include the central openwork fronton, side elements and supports, creating a complete temple-style presentation rather than an isolated decorative fragment.

Decoration

The carving combines scrolling flame-like ornament with surviving gilding, dark lacquer and mirror-glass inlay. Such reflective decoration was used extensively in late Burmese religious interiors to animate altar architecture under changing light.

Construction and condition

Traditional joinery and hand-carved teak construction remain visible. The ensemble shows expected age-related wear, losses to gilding and mirror elements, and surface variation consistent with architectural use.

Dimensions

  • Central fronton: 114.5 × 114 cm
  • Side panels: 102 × 30 cm each
  • Supports: 75 × 15 cm and 64.5 × 15 cm
