Offerings | Elevated Wooden Bowl from Sumatra or Lombok

US$350.00
sold out

In many cultures, offerings are a daily gesture of gratitude—given to ancestors, spirits, and unseen protectors who shape our world. This elevated wooden bowl, believed to originate from Sumatra or Lombok, Indonesia, was likely used in that context. Its simple, sculptural silhouette suggests presence and intention, while its pedestal form naturally lifts what it carries—food, flowers, incense, or memory.

The tradition of making offerings is as much about mindfulness as it is about ritual. Arranging objects in this vessel becomes an act of beauty and devotion, even in modern settings. The quiet grace of this bowl invites reflection and reminds us that everyday moments can carry sacred weight.

While its original function may have been ceremonial, this piece has timeless relevance. It works beautifully as a centerpiece, altar item, or shelf sculpture. Its deep black patina and smooth, worn texture pair easily with natural materials—perfect for stylists and collectors drawn to objects with quiet power.

There are some visible cracks in the wood, soft reminders of its age and purpose. Still, it stands steady, ready to hold space.
