Gond Tribal Panel From Madhya Pradesh - 19th Century Material - Bamboo The stambha supports a traditionalThis antique tribal panel is a Gond door panel from Madhya Pradesh. In the center of the panel is an incised kaleidoscope of geometric patters, perhaps symbolistic of the sun. This panel dates to the 19th century.
