Here are Rama and Sita, the immortal lovers of the Ramayana, caught mid embrace and pressed by hand into a sheet of solid brass. This is a proper piece of Siamese metalwork from roughly 1880 to 1930, raised in repoussé from a generous 1 mm sheet (touristware is wafer thin, this is the real thing) and finished with the sort of fanatically fine background punching that only a master would bother with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLook closely and the whole surface comes alive: serene faces, beaded jewellery, a sunburst aureole and a twisted rope border, all framing a tender, slightly cheeky tableau. Turn it over and you will find the maker's stamp and incised marks on the reverse, the quiet signature of the workshop that made it. A genuine collector's piece with warmth, glow and a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis relief is a born conversation starter and wants good company.
