Description
This mid-20th century Ethiopia chopping bowl is hand-carved from a single piece of hardwood, featuring bold geometric patterns that highlight traditional craftsmanship. Originally used for food preparation, it shows a rich, warm patina from years of use, adding to its character and authenticity. The integrated handle enhances both function and display, making it a versatile piece that works beautifully as wall décor or a rustic centerpiece.
