About the Item

This is a pair of Antique Thai Khan Toke pedestal trays, traditionally used in Northern Thailand for serving food, holding religious offerings, or displaying fruits and decorative items. Hand-carved out of wood, typically rain tree or teak wood They are decorated with a traditional red lacquered finish, accented with small, inset stained-glass or mirrored tile mosaic details along the trim. The unique structural bases feature openwork legs intricately carved in the shape of Nagas, the sacred mythical serpent/dragon deities of Buddhist folklore that symbolize protection and wealth. Objects made from wood expand and contract in response to environmental shifts .Humidity and Temperature Fluctuations Dry air causes wood to shrink over time.Tension Splitting: Because the brittle outer lacquer (thayo relief work and gilding) cannot flex, the shrinking wood core beneath it creates tension, forcing the material to split wide open along the grain. Very good antique condition, consistent with age and use, one has a wood split.
