Tibetan Turned Wood Dough Tray

A humble utilitarian object with incredible sculptural presence, this large wooden tray hails from the high Himalayas of Tibet. Carved or turned from a single piece of wood, it was originally used in a mountain household for kneading dough or serving communal meals. The piece features a shallow, consistent rim and a flat basin. It wears a later application of white paint that has been heavily distressed, revealing the dark, aged wood beneath.   Its large, low profile is perfect for corralling smaller objects on a large ottoman or coffee table without blocking the view.
