A traditional Swedish hand-carved wooden bread bowl, probably dating to the mid-20th century.
Carved from a single piece of timber, the bowl has an irregular rectangular shape, gently curved sides and a shallow interior. The exterior retains visible carving marks, while the inside has a smooth, worn surface.
The side bears the inscription “19 Born 48”, suggesting a date of 1948. A simple and attractive piece of Scandinavian folk art.
