Cut entirely from a single sheet of leather and pierced with the patience of a saint, this filigree panel shows a celestial figure sailing across rolling silver clouds, sceptre in hand and crown ablaze. It belongs to the great tradition of wayang, the shadow-theatre art of the Indonesian archipelago, where leather is carved into lace and brought to life against the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat lifts it well above the ordinary is the colouring. Every pierced cell has been painted by hand in deep aubergine, terracotta, moss and ivory, then heightened with gold and burnished silver leaf so the whole thing glimmers as you move past it. Framed under glass in a handsome gilded vintage moulding, it carries a quiet spirituality and an almost obsessive craftsmanship. A little theatre of devotion, ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a piece that loves company from across Southeast Asia, so let it anchor a wall or shelf of devotional treasures.
