Description

Wooden bowls are perhaps the most common type of carved bowls. Artisans carve these from different types of wood, such as hardwoods like oak, mahogany, or teak. The grain and texture of the wood add to the beauty of the carving.

Cultural Symbols: The carvings might represent symbols of importance to the community, like ancestral spirits, totems, or spiritual beliefs. In many African and Pacific Island cultures, carved bowls are believed to hold power or protect the user, and the symbols carved into them can offer protection or blessings.
