Hand carved from a single piece of wood, a commodity hard to come by in the Sahara, the Tuareg (nomadic people of the Sahara) used these bowls to store soured milk, a staple in their diets. Repaired, never discarded, these bowls would last for years and due to their lighter weight, versus a clay bowl, were easier to transport. This bowl has geometric designs hand carved on the outer rim, a chip (see photo), and metal fasteners used for repair.
Dimensions:
17” D x 9” H
Weight:
5.6 lbs
We use recycled materials to package and box Mid Century Maroc items. This means our packaging is ugly! Thank you for your understanding!
