[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 6693963, member: 8267"]Your detail photos are good, but I can't see the general shape of the bowl, other than the first photo. I would like to see the whole bowl from the side, so we can see the profile. The damage on the bottom(?) looks like the type of insect damage I have seen on older African objects that have been left outside - no longer in use. What I can see of the bowl reminds me of carved wooden bowls from Ethiopia: [URL]https://www.google.com/search?q=Ethiopian+wooden+bowl&tbm=isch&source=univ&fir=_gzhoCOlXz5iNM%252CLdppv8FzPRq5DM%252C_%253B2kwzT1eUfA_DmM%252CR4gPkDgaMnFDcM%252C_%253BeTg6oBhtMFxqqM%252CCFmmOpFPGngkVM%252C_%253BX25kvuL_Ro2eoM%252C3_FLeRLTqyIseM%252C_%253B5X3ReZo9A3esTM%252C083rnWUUUcINhM%252C_%253BX9M1xfbiCl-XqM%252CvKM-GgXFtxQxaM%252C_%253BA4SO4DohOT2PeM%252CaALFiljS5xMTSM%252C_%253Bg3nhB8oTYQXIaM%252CNXOvu0Jin2ZGzM%252C_%253BW7yyEOaLjp6AuM%252C4sN8ym0zma5rlM%252C_%253Bh7KsruumE1vS4M%252CTvU6c4Fge1GPtM%252C_%253B9pKKQ_DlesL39M%252CXnVguHarRQsMbM%252C_%253BrHhwifrGXEZ7cM%252C0S6NZpjz1HARyM%252C_%253B7hLt-I20XmPRPM%252CFkRzgWSK17DX_M%252C_%253BuRtCAdSxIjQMnM%252C_sTFwmPxRQsc_M%252C_%253BvpLpurNFkXh0FM%252CEPWwLLdJusesVM%252C_&usg=AI4_-kTNJ2ykg-y4o38mwUjeVs6DOyQZWA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjltqyanrz8AhX_lYkEHZhlBekQjJkEegQIDBAC&biw=1585&bih=755&dpr=0.8[/URL][/QUOTE]
