About the Item

A striking example of early utilitarian craftsmanship elevated to sculptural art form, this large primitive woven split-wood bowl exudes both presence and authenticity. Measuring an impressive 21.5 inches wide, 20.5 inches deep, and 11 inches tall, it commands attention through scale, material, and tactile integrity. The interlaced split-wood construction reveals a rhythmic geometry — an intuitive balance between strength and openness. Richly aged surfaces bear a warm, natural patina, softening the wood’s texture while preserving its hand-hewn character. The handles are wrapped in worn, supple leather, lending a textural contrast and a sense of lived history that feels both rugged and deeply human. Displayed as a centerpiece, sculptural vessel, or wall-mounted object, this piece bridges functional folk tradition and modern organic design. Its presence is timeless — an artifact of everyday beauty that now reads as pure form.
