{"product_id":"antique-willow-pine-tibetan-butter-churn","title":"Tibetan Butter Churn - 19th Century","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis antique Tibetan butter churn, crafted from willow and pine, dates to the 19th century and reflects the enduring traditions of life on the Tibetan plateau. Butter churning was central to daily life in Tibetan households, with churns like this used to make yak butter - an essential ingredient in both food and ritual, from butter tea to butter lamps offered in monasteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe churn is formed from a hollowed pine log, reinforced with willow bands that are hand-carved in a twisting, knotted form. Centuries of use have given the surface a deep, polished patina, while the natural wear tells the story of its utilitarian origins. Today, this piece stands as both a decorative object and a reminder of Tibet's pastoral culture, making it an evocative accent in interiors that blend history with design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tibet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pine and willow wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-carved willow bands; hollowed pine log body; rich aged patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wear consistent with age and use; structurally sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W26 x D26 x H96 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53551666790709,"sku":"C2499","price":227.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/Antique_WIllow_Pine_Tibetan_Butter_Churn_C2499.jpg?v=1789234196","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/antique-willow-pine-tibetan-butter-churn","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
