Add a timeless and reverent vibe to your office with this vintage framed rice paper rubbing, featuring the sacred Apsara dancers of Angkor Wat.

The artwork is housed in a simple black frame that highlights the striking black-and-white composition. There is a quiet wit in the way these mid-century rubbings brought the heavy stone reliefs of Southeast Asia into the home as light, ethereal paper works. While the paper is currently resting slightly off-center—a common occurrence with vintage framed rubbings—it can be easily repositioned to your preference to restore its formal balance.
