..the wood craft !

..Wooden Crafts - Sculpture or Wood work in Nepal has been flourishing since the early years of the Licchavi period (300-879 AD), though the remains of this work have not been recovered. There are no physical monuments remaining from this era in Nepal to prove their creation except for its being mentioned in documentaries.Some of the woodwork used at architectural sites during Malla period are: (a) latticed windows (b) peacock window, Bhaktapur, (c) tudals at different palaces (d) decorated pillars (e) doors. The woodwork in Kathmandu seems independent from outside influences except for the fact that the designs of these woodworks were essentially based on Holy Scripture, stylized mythical structures, related to the paintings in different texts !
