Cool green foliage envelops warm lamduan blossoms on an ornate floral panel. Delicately sculpted of teakwood, the lacy piece showcases Tay Nontawat's talent. He uses only hand tools and a keen eye for design to create this traditional Thai art form; wood carving is an ancestral handicraft due to the country's flourishing forests. The finished sculpture is dried in the sun, painted by hand and finished with a protective coat of lacquer. (via Novica)
