Hand Carved African Wooden Bowl with Turtles, Bone Inlay & Sisal Wrapping

A beautifully hand-carved vintage African decorative bowl featuring two stylized turtles, geometric border carving, and traditional bone-inlay accents. The piece sits on four tapered legs, giving it a raised presence on a table or shelf. Wrapped sisal fiber adds textural contrast, a hallmark of late-20th-century Kenyan artisan work.

Crafted from dark hardwood with a smooth interior basin, this bowl blends traditional East African carving motifs. The geometric incised border, stylized turtles, and hand-laid bone inlay pieces suggest production by skilled workshop carvers from Kenya or Tanzania in the 1970s–1990s.
