VINTAGE EMBERA-WOUNAAN NATIVE TRIBAL WOVEN BASKET BOWL PANAMA AMERICAS WITH STERLING SILVER HANDLES EBONY WOOD BOTTOM
YOU ARE PURCHASING A VERY RARE VINTAGE EMBERA-WOUNAAN WOVEN PANAMA CENTRAL AMERICAN TRIBE INDIAN BASKET BOWL TRAY WITH SOLID STERLING SILVER HANDLES & BLACK CARVED EBONY WOOD BOTTOM! ONCE AGAIN, THIS PIECE IS VERY RARE! I CANNOT LOCATE ANOTHER LIKE IT ANYWHERE!
THIS GORGEOUS VINTAGE WOVEN BASKET FEATURES BRIGHT COLORS AND A REPETITIVE KEY PATTERN THAT CIRCLES THE BOWL / TRAY. THE BOTTOM OF THE BOWL IS A SOLID CARVED BLACK EBONY COLOR WOOD WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE OUTER WOVEN BASKET. THERE ARE 2 SOLID MARKED 0925 STERLING SILVER HANDLES WHICH LOOK SOMEWHAT PRIMITIVE IN DESIGN.
THE BOWL MEASURES 13.25" WIDE FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE. I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE SMOOTH CURVATURE OF THE BLACK EBONY WOOD BOTTOM. THIS WOOD BOTTOM WAS CARVED AND FINISHED TO CREATE A SMOOTH SURFACE ROUNDED BOTTOM TO BOWL. IT IS ATTACHED AND A PART OF THE WOVEN OUTER BAND OF BOWL.
THE SILVER HANDLES LOOK GREAT! THEY ADD AN EXTRA SPECIAL TOUCH TO THIS ALREADY EXCEPTIONAL PIECE! THE HANDLES WERE ALSO MADE BY THE TRIBE. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE! YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
