Hand Carved Wood Relief Panel, "Natural Windmill"

Concentric circles of lamduan blossoms embrace a single flower, each layer showcasing a different element of the Thai garden. Buds, leaves and tendrils appear in this lacy composition. Using only hand tools, Tay Nontawat sculpts the panel of rain tree wood. The finished piece is dried in the sun. Nontawat then adds the color and protects the piece with a coat of lacquer.
