THAI TEMPLE RUBBING Silk Matt Mid Century MODERN TEAK Wood FRAME 53" x 20" ART

Description

This is an
original hand-crafted temple stone-rubbing
by an unknown artist.
Stone rubbing is the practice of creating an image of surface features of a stone on paper.
The image records features such as natural textures, inscribed patterns or lettering. By rubbing hard rendering materials over the paper, pigment is deposited over protrusions and on edges; depressions remain unpigmented since the pliable paper moves away from the rendering material.
Common rendering materials include rice paper, charcoal, wax, graphite, or inksticks.
Although exact age is unknown, I purchased this piece at auction in the early 80's and was told by Auction House it was from Thailand and the early 19th century.  That's it and all I know.  With the internet today I'm sure the origin can be researched.
I had it custom framed in 1983 (expensive to frame back than as well) in a wide teak m
