    Hi, I have this Balinese wood panel showing Sita and Hannuman, height is about 50 cm. How old would you think it is?
    Thank you,
    Mat

    I can't find the artist, but these are generally post 1950.
    These were originally panels used in traditional houses for ventilation, but they are now carved as tourist and export items as well. We have a few too, also with scenes from the Ramayana.
    Looks like yours was glued to a backing at one stage?

    Thank you Any Jewelry! Yes, it was framed and glued on paper but I removed the frame, which looked 1950s - 60s to me, as it was ugly IMO...

    It was probably framed as soon as the first owners got back from their trip. So their ugly choice helps date it.;)
