The term Mysore originates from Mahishuru, a name deeply tied to the region’s mythological, royal, and cultural history. Mysore has long been synonymous with refined court-sponsored crafts, including rosewood inlay.

In Indian artistic traditions, the deer symbolizes gentleness, alertness, grace, and harmony with nature—qualities often associated with forest landscapes, temple art, and contemplative spaces.

In Your Home

This deer-themed Mysore rosewood inlay panel works beautifully as a wall-mounted accent in living rooms, studies, corridors, or entryways. Its vertical proportions and calm imagery pair well with wooden furniture, neutral wall tones, and warm ambient lighting, adding a sense of quiet elegance and heritage depth to both modern and traditional interiors.

MATERIAL AND CARE

Clean gently using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid moisture, direct sunlight, and chemical or abrasive cleaners, as these may affect the wood and inlay. Do not wipe with water. Occasional light dusting helps preserve the natural sheen and contrast of the rosewood surface.

Provenance

Mysore rosewood inlay is a distinguished South Indian craft that emerged in the early 19th century under royal patronage, notably during the reign of Tipu Sultan and later nurtured by the Wodeyar dynasty. The craft’s enduring legacy can be seen in the inlaid doors of the Mysore Palace and the historic mausoleum at Srirangapatna.

The technique involves carefully carving recesses into dense rosewood and meticulously fitting contrasting materials by hand to create seamless imagery. This labour-intensive process demands exceptional precision and years of artisanal training.

In 1914, Mysore rosewood inlay received international acclaim with a Gold Medal at the British Empire Exhibition. The craft was later granted Geographical Indication (GI) status in 2006 (GI No. 24), safeguarding its authenticity and regional heritage. This deer panel has been handcrafted by artisan Shri Bharath of Mysuru, continuing a lineage rooted in royal workshops and disciplined craftsmanship.
