Overview:
This piece is a rustic, antique wall hanging , hand-carved from a single piece of dark hardwood. Its rich patina, intricate geometric carving, and aged wear marks tell the story of a utilitarian object elevated by craftsmanship.

Material & Finish:
• Wood: Likely a dense, aged hardwood—darkened with time and possibly oil-stained through use.
• Patina: Deep brown to nearly black coloration with red undertones and worn edges revealing the natural wood grain. The surface shows signs of age, use, and slight splitting, which add character and authenticity.

Carving & Design:
• Pattern: The front is richly decorated with incised geometric motifs—primarily rosettes and diamond starbursts—arranged in bands and circles.
• These traditional chip-carving patterns are deeply incised and evenly spaced, suggesting the hand of a skilled artisan.
• The decorative style may point to Eastern European

Hook Form:
• A large, robust wooden hook protrudes from the board, possibly made from a naturally curved tree branch.
• The hook is mounted into a carved recess and reinforced, possibly with pegs or adhesive. It shows wear at the base, adding to its rustic authenticity.

Function & Use:
• Originally used as a wall hanging , utility hanger, or possibly part of a larger architectural element (e.g., a door, furniture panel, or ceremonial piece).
• Can be repurposed today as a functional wall hook, decorative object, or textural wall accent in a bohemian, rustic, or antique-inspired space.
