This pair of large antique Burmese wooden temple panels depict Wathondara, the Earth Goddess, intricately carved in a style steeped in the rich traditions of Burmese culture. Standing at 175 cm tall, each panel exudes elegance and craftsmanship, reflecting the artistry typical of the 19th century. The base dimensions of 50 cm wide and 25 cm deep ensure stability while showcasing the detailed carvings that embody Wathondara's significance.

Wathondara symbolizes protection, purity, and the triumph of good deeds over malevolence, particularly in her role in driving away Mara’s army. She is often represented with flowing hair, from which she uses water to safeguard Buddha's enlightenment. This narrative not only highlights her protective nature but also her deep-rooted connection to the spiritual journeys within Buddhism.

Originating from Myanmar, these panels represent a fusion of religious significance and cultural heritage, illustrating the importance of earth deities in local beliefs. The craftsmanship showcases the vibrant artistic expressions of Burmese artisans, whose skills have been passed down through generations. This dual-purpose piece serves as both an object of reverence and a decorative element, making it a valuable addition to any collection of cultural artifacts.
