This is an antique hand-carved panel, likely depicting a Hindu deity riding a horse, possibly representing Ayyanar, a guardian deity in Tamil and South Indian traditions, or Kalki, the prophesied tenth avatar of Vishnu. The carving features ornate details, multiple arms (symbolizing divine power), and a crowned head, which are common in traditional Hindu temple art.
The aged patina and intricate detailing suggest this may be a panel from an old temple, shrine, or religious architectural piece. The rough, unpolished edges indicate it may have been removed from a larger structure.
