Handled Wood Bowl

A large oval serving bowl with carved handles at each end, hand carved by Yanesha master artisans in the Peruvian Amazon from a single, continuous block of sustainably harvested rainforest hardwood. There are no joints and no glue, so the grain runs unbroken from end to end. Each bowl is made in small batches and is one of a kind. You won't find it anywhere else.

Use it for bread, fruit or salad, or set it out empty as a sculptural piece on a dining table, island or console.
