Toraja Panel XL

This panel, once brightly coloured and finely carved, comes from the façade of one of the
original houses of Toraja (Indonesia). Such panels served to establish the social rank of the
householder and advertise his wealth. Each community developed its own characteristic
imagery for these panels. Each one is time-worn, has its own distinct patina and is a
unique and authentic collector’s item.
