Old Style Painted Wooden Bowl 24" -Fetish Bear (pb30)

This is a genuine Tarahumara Indian Rawhide laced western wooden dough bowl hand painted with Native American motif artwork for southwest style and western decor and features an artistic representation of rawhide patch work on the front.

Wooden Indian dough bowls are carved by hand from native yellow pine and begin as a piece of a downed tree trunk. The Indian log bowls are made by splitting the trunk in half lengthwise then rough cut with an axe. The carved wooden dough bowls are shaped and further worked with a machete or large knife.

This traditional shallow Tarahumara Indian bowl has a round bottom and rustic finish with hand lacing of genuine rawhide. The rustic character of primitive bowls adds a sense of rustic beauty to create a natural atmosphere for southwest log homes, cabins and cottages as well as any ranch or country style. Measures 8.5" wide, 23.75" long, actual bowl is shown.
