About the Item

A monumental hand-carved wooden bowl, made in Africa in the mid 20th century. Sculpted from a single solid piece of hardwood, the piece exhibits a beautiful, flared silhouette that merges functional form with sculptural presence. The surface bears a deep, rich patina that reveals decades of natural wear and use — a testament to its age and authenticity. Subtle tool marks and irregularities accentuate the bowl ´ s handcrafted nature, lending it a primitive yet timeless character. This authentic bowl will complement many interior styles. A Modern, Classic, Antique, Primitive or an Wabi Sabi home decor.
