About the Item
Handled Wooden Bowl
West Africa
Carved hardwood with metal repair
Hand-carved from a single block of dense hardwood, this utilitarian bowl features an integral handle and a deep, open form intended for the preparation or serving of food. The interior surface bears a rich patina and visible tool marks, evidencing prolonged daily use. A riveted metal repair at the rim—applied to stabilize a crack—reflects a tradition of repair and continued function rather than replacement. The bowl’s surface, wear, and mend together record the passage of time, transforming a domestic object into a material document of lived experience.
