Door Lintel (Pare)
Dark brown carved wooden door lintel, featuring a central face with triangular nose and mouth, circular eyes, and a distinctive curved shape on top of the head. The face is surrounded by intricate carvings of curved lines, spirals, and scroll-like patterns. Two curved arms extend outwards from the face, each ending in a hand holding a spiral-shaped object. The lintel is adorned with multiple figures, including birds or animals with curved beaks and tails, as well as humanoid forms with spiral patterns on their bodies. The background is black, with a gray surface and a shadow cast by the lintel. Title: Door Lintel (Pare), by an unknown artist.
