Panels in this form are referred to as ‘windows’ and are modelled on the decorations to be found in the temples and architecture of Nepal. Some have a peacock roundel, as here, and some an openwork ‘window’. Created by the woodcarvers of the Nevar people who live mainly in the Katmandu valley and its surrounding areas they are known locally as ‘Ankhi Jhyal’ made up of two words, 'Ankhi' meaning eye and 'Jhyal' meaning window which explains the two images of an eye seen here and the inclusion of a peacock with its typical feathers. These ‘windows’ were made over a long period of time and are even produced today but this example most likely dates to the second half of the twentieth century and is a fine example of the genre in excellent condition.
