    Description

    We bought these in Jaipur about 1984 and they have hung on our walls at home since then. We were told they were from the late 1800s. But I can't be sure except they are old.
    The women are in beautiful saris that are a little suggestive too.  They swing their arms and dance to music we cannot hear.  The panels are covered in decorations of flowers, scroll work and other artistic details.
    One panel is 18 X 7", the other is19 X 7".  On one panel there is a strip of wood that would seal the shutters together.
    There are old metal latch that secures the panels together.  Also, metal hooks to secure to windows.  The back of panels have 2 wooden attachments to secure the wood.
    All parts are original.
    I am here for questions.
