A carved wood architectural transom (ranma) rendered in openwork with an eagle poised among the gnarled branches of a windswept pine. Using traditional Japanese carpentry techniques - secured at the corners without nails through interlocking joinery. Intended for placement above sliding doors or between interior rooms, ranma panels allowed light and air to pass through while adding a dramatic focal point of sculptural detail. Crafted using traditional Japanese carpentry techniques, it is secured at the corners without nails through interlocking joinery, and carved and finished on both sides to be admired from multiple viewpoints within a refined interior setting.
