Wood carving is the ancestral occupation of the Hindu Suthar community and is practiced in the districts of Patan and Ahmedabad. The legacy of exquisite wood carving is visible in the traditional havelis (mansions) in all districts of Gujarat, the earliest of which date back to the 16th century. Haveli structures from Patan are characterized by their eclectic use of geometric or floral patterns as well as motifs inspired by European and West Asian decorative elements on the woodwork of the balconies and ceilings. Whereas, the wooden architecture of Ahmedabad, acquires its distinctive aesthetic through the use of patterns borrowed from block printing and textiles.

Literature comparison:

Compare a related polychrome wood sculpture of a goddess, dated 17th century, Gujarat, 90 cm high, in the Museum Rietberg, inventory number RVI 401.
