Measuring 18 inches in height, 8 inches in width, and 3 inches in depth, the pair is substantial in scale and weight, designed to be installed as a mirrored set on either side of a doorway, niche, or feature wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bracket has been hand-carved to replicate the structural and decorative logic of traditional temple corbels, where the Yazhi form was used architecturally to support overhead elements while simultaneously serving as a symbolic protector. The carving work visible here is layered and precise — the creature is shown in a rearing posture, with a lion-like maned head rendered in strong relief, an open jaw, and a compact body that transitions into the form of an elephant at the base. Scrollwork, floral rosettes, and geometric border patterns frame the central figure within a rectangular panel, maintaining the vocabulary of classical temple ornamentation throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn South Indian tradition, the Yazhi is understood as a creature of superior strength — depicted in temple gateways and pillared halls as a force that wards off malevolent energy and marks sacred thresholds. Its presence on a doorway or altar space carries that same protective intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVaagai wood is valued for its hardness, tight grain, and resistance to warping over time, qualities that make it well-suited for detailed relief carving of this depth. The wood takes the rich reddish-brown tone visible here without requiring heavy surface treatment, allowing the natural character of the material to remain present beneath the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bracket carries a small brass bell suspended at its base, adding a functional devotional detail consistent with temple craft tradition. Because these are individually hand-carved, natural variation in tone, texture, and fine detail from piece to piece is expected and reflects the nature of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese brackets are suited for entrance corridors, pooja room surrounds, or as architectural accents on feature walls in homes where traditional craft and cultural heritage are taken seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Cosmic Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43634806849571,"sku":null,"price":12199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/0448\/0547\/files\/36-PAL_6688.webp?v=1786208836","url":"https:\/\/cosmicstudio.in\/products\/18-yazhi-wall-brackets-for-home-decor-handcrafted-wood-carving","provider":"Cosmic Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
