36" Hand-Carved Polychrome Yali Architectural Bracket Panel (Pair)

Invoke ferocious divine protection, majestic power, and classic South Indian Dravidian temple architecture with this Pair of Handcrafted Solid Hardwood Yali Pillar Brackets. Carved in high relief with single-sided detail, this matching left-and-right pair depicts the mythical Yali / Vyala—a majestic motif featuring the body of a lion, tusks of an elephant, and stylized mane. Each Yali is sculpted in a dynamic rearing stance, mounted upon a crouching royal elephant (Gaja-Yali), with a warrior rider taming the beast from its side.

The upper capital features a traditional floral rosette, a stylized makara/elephant head, and hanging tassels, while the straight inner edges are embellished with geometric relief borders. Hand-carved from 100% solid hardwood, the pair is hand-painted in vibrant traditional polychrome shades—mustard yellow, crimson red, turquoise green, pastel grey, and soft peach—set against a deep antiqued dark wood background.
