An antique wall panel showing the main characters of the Ramayana epic. Sita, Ravana, Rama and his brother Lakshmana. The squatting woman on the far left appears to be one of Ravana's servants, who was kind to Sita.
Even if the year of origin of the wall panel is not exactly known, much points to a high age due to the way it was made. A successful mixture of shallow and deep relief carvings. Remarkable is the border at the bottom of the picture, in the middle of which, and thus prominently on the front of the work, the carver has inserted his signature.
