c. 18th Mi'kmaq Hand Carved Elm Wood Burl Bowl Recovered in Old Saybrook, CT
$4,800.00
A very handsome bowl completely hand chiseled and carved from an elm burl, probably 19th century or earlier and very likely Native American, probably Mi'kmaq or similar. Extensive signs of hand tooled cutting on the inside walls. It would have been a tremendous undertaking with such hard wood. Condition is very good and it presents well. There are a couple of old repairs at the lip and other areas of fill which is quite common. These repairs are well done and match well the color of the bowl. Certainly could be used as an interior accent or could be put to work with fruit etc..
Dimensions: 3.5" x 11.75"
