Carved temple truss support or long corbel.  From Burma near Mawlamyine.

Deep carving with human and elephant figure on the sides.  Remnants of paint.  Mounting post on top; hole at bottom.  Acquired from our agent in Thailand in the 1990s.   Likely to date to the 1700s.

A real piece of history for architects and collectors of temple artifacts.   27.75″ long x 5.5″ wide x 4.25″Stand not included.  In good condition, overall.
