{"product_id":"carved-nagaland-tribal-bowl-1","title":"Carved Tribal Food Bowl From Nagaland - Ca 1920","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis striking tribal food bowl from Nagaland in North East India is a beautifully sculptural and highly functional piece, traditionally used for everyday dining by the Konyak tribe and other Naga communities. Hand-carved from a single block of wood, its elegant pedestal form elevates the shallow bowl, giving it both presence and practicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface has developed a deep, rich patina through years of use, with warm tonal variations and a softly worn finish that reflect its utilitarian past. The gently curved supports and open base create a sense of movement and balance, while the broad, shallow dish would have been used for serving or sharing meals within the household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNagaland remains one of India’s most culturally distinct regions, with strong tribal traditions. The Konyak, one of the largest Naga tribes, are particularly known for their rich heritage and craftsmanship. Pieces such as this offer a tangible connection to daily life in these communities, where functional objects were shaped with both skill and an inherent sense of design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nagaland, North East India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early 20th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-carved solid wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTribe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Konyak \/ Naga tribes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carved from a single block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raised pedestal bowl with curved supports and open base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, naturally aged patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Originally a food bowl; ideal as a decorative centrepiece or fruit bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W28 x D26.5 x H26 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53550917124405,"sku":"A01998V1","price":119.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/Antique_Naga_Tribal_Wooden_Food_Bowl_From_Nagaland_With_Pedestal_Base_And_Rich_Patina_A01998V1.jpg?v=1789232483","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/carved-nagaland-tribal-bowl-1","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
