Newar Tundal Strut Carving

Newar tundal carving is the deeply worked roof-strut woodcraft of the Kathmandu Valley, seen at Bhaktapur's 55-Window Palace and the Pujari Math. Centuries-old sal-wood struts of deities and pierced lattice windows have darkened almost black through age and oiling, set against Bhaktapur's red brick.

This design system translates that tradition into digital form — a near-black aged-hardwood ground, carved mid-brown figures, pierced-lattice framing, and the muted brick-red complement of Bhaktapur masonry, all rendered with the depth and shadow of undercut relief rather than flat color.

纽瓦尔的"tundal"檐撑木雕，是加德满都谷地深雕的屋檐斜撑木作，可见于巴克塔普尔的五十五窗宫与普贾里寺。历经数百年的岁月与油养，那些雕刻神祇的娑罗木斜撑与镂空格窗已暗沉近黑，衬在巴克塔普尔的红砖之上。

本设计系统将这一传统转化为数字语言——以近黑的陈年硬木为底色，雕刻神像呈中棕，配以镂空格窗式的框景与巴克塔普尔砖墙的柔和砖红。一切以深凿浮雕的阴影与木纹来呈现，而非平涂色块，让界面保有手工凿刻的层次与厚度。
