Handcrafted Ankhi Jhyal Traditional Nepali Carved Wood Photo Frame

Bring a piece of Nepalese artistic heritage into your home with this beautifully handcrafted Ankhi Jhyal Photo Frame. Inspired by the traditional Ankhi Jhyal, meaning “Eye Window,” this decorative piece reflects the intricate wood-carving traditions found throughout the historic architecture of Nepal, particularly in the Kathmandu Valley.

Each frame is carefully handcrafted by the Sikarkar Family, artisans dedicated to preserving traditional Nepali wood-carving techniques passed down through generations.

The detailed carvings combine traditional architectural and floral motifs with a functional photo-frame design, creating a unique piece suitable for displaying photographs, artwork, certificates or other meaningful images.

A Piece of Nepali Heritage

The Ankhi Jhyal is more than a decorative design. It represents Nepal’s long-standing tradition of skilled wood carving and the artistic heritage of the Kathmandu Valley.

Each frame is individually handcrafted, allowing the natural character of the wood and the artisan’s workmanship to shine through. Because of this handmade process, no two frames will be exactly alike.

Handcrafted to Order

Each Ankhi Jhyal frame is individually handcrafted rather than mass-produced. The carving process requires patience, precision and considerable attention to detail.

Because the pieces are handcrafted in Nepal, processing and delivery may take longer than standard retail products. This additional time allows the artisans to create each piece carefully and prepare it for international shipping.

Every Piece Is Unique

Variations in wood grain, colour, carving details and finish are natural characteristics of handmade wooden products. These differences are not defects; they are part of what makes each handcrafted piece unique.

The frame may have minor variations from the product photographs, making your piece genuinely one of a kind.

Care Instructions
