    IMG_2411.jpeg IMG_2412.jpeg IMG_2410.jpeg IMG_2414.jpeg It is about 66 inches long maybe 18 inches tall and 12 inches thick carved on one side with pattern extremely heavy approx 200 pounds. Thinking India sat on top of columns I am assuming. I have to find my other pics of it out of box that I have on another computer.

    agree, carved corbel; being carved on only one side would indicate placement against another surface.

    And how did you move that? I'd need a forklift.

    I got it at an estate auction it’s also curved lengthwise to sit on another log I think. No info on it at all and I used a dolly to cart around

    Try Googling antique Indian+corbel+lintel images and see what pops up.As far as age goes @Any Jewelry is the person to talk to.
    I will hesitate a guess though-older ethnographic exterior pieces tend to age quite rapidly,same goes for authentic masks,esp in a semi tropical or arid windy environment.
