About this piece

A long dish with a deep dark middle.

Tutsi makers of Rwanda, East Africa, carved this food bowl in wood in the mid 20th century. Wood bowls are commonly used in East Africa for serving food and for sharing communal meals. The bowl is long and oval, with a rolled rim and a small nub at one end. The interior is dark and fine-grained, polished by use, and the exterior is a lighter reddish brown. A little wear is visible at the lip.

About 13.5 inches long. Bread, fruit, keys, or a quiet shelf.
