Vintage Hand Crafted African Kenya Tribal Folk Art Wooden Bowl, 5.75” Wide

We believe our mother picked this piece up in 1968 when visiting Kenya. These bowls are typically handcrafted from indigenous hardwood. In this case, we believe mango wood was used.
 
The bowl is beautifully carved out. The sides have a geometric netting-like pattern, a blank ink or charcoal used to accentuate the pattern. Beneath this band is a darkly stained band of wood leading to the darkly stained base.
 
It is in remarkably good condition for its age, although there is a water stain in the bowl. We do not believe this piece was ever used.
 
H 2 3/8” x diameter 5 3/4”
