Planting Divination Bowl, Bolivia

A small bowl, two dark openings, and no instructions.

This planting divination bowl comes from Bolivia and is dated to the early 20th century, recorded in silver and wood. Bowls and vessels in the Andes are commonly connected with agricultural ritual and offerings, though the exact use of an object like this is better left to the record. The shallow, wide form has a rounded base and two large oval openings cut into the side. The surface is dark brown with worn, smoothed edges.

About 7 inches wide. Odd, compact, and a conversation starter by default.
