This beautiful African Carved Medium Size Wood Oval Bowl with Aluminum Native Repairs and would be used by the Pokot and Turkana people of Northern Kenya.

This bowl was used for ceremonial purposes and to receive cow's blood that is obtained by piercing the vein, and then afterward plugging the hole to stop the bleeding. The cow's blood is mixed with the cow's milk and then consumed for nourishment. Sometimes when eating the meat of the cow, it is first dipped into this mixture. This would be a lovely piece of Tribal Art for you home or a wonderful gift for a man or woman.
