This hand-carved wooden bowl is a remarkable piece that embodies the soulful craftsmanship of the Swat Valley. Its worn, distressed exterior and sturdy single handle speak of a long life of humble use, likely dating to the late 20th century.

But its true soul is revealed within: a beautiful and unexpected hand-carved floral design on its base. This intricate detail elevates the bowl from a simple serving piece to a work of art, a testament to the region's rich folk traditions.

This bowl’s artistry and rustic character make it a powerful centerpiece. Use it as an elegant fruit bowl on a kitchen island, allowing its carved base to be seen as the fruit is taken. It also stands beautifully on its own as a sculptural object on a coffee table or mantel, inviting a closer look and a connection to its history.
