Old Wooden Vessel with Bird on Top

This old vessel from Lombok is a hand carved wooden treasure. A little bird sits on top of the lid acting as a decoy and an attractive handle, while the lid is attached by a strong thin rope to the bottom, making it easy for the maker to carry. The round belly of the base is scalloped with grooves, and the inside hollowed out for storage of medicine, liquids, spices, or treasures we can only guess. The age of this beauty is old, but unknown. A wonderful addition to any home with a rustic or primitive decor.

Approximately 8" H and 7" in diameter.
