Turkana are a nomadic people from NW Kenya known for skills in woodcarving and metalwork. Frequently on the move, their household goods must be lightweight and durable. Each of these bowls are carved by hand and used for storage and transportation of food items.

There are several styles of bowl and varying colors of wood. These bowls have become quite valuable, as the wood ages, the color of the bowls take on a beautiful deep hue which adds to the aesthetic quality of the bowl. Functional objects - repair work done by original owner to prolong the life of the piece.

Please note that many of our handmade items are one of a kind, perfectly imperfect, vintage and have indigenous decorative repair work which we believe adds to the intrinsic value and beauty of the items. No two items are exactly the same.
