Jimma plate N°11

A beautiful wooden Jimma plate dating from the first half of the 20th century, originating from the north-west of Ethiopia. Traditionally carved by hand from a single piece of wood, these sculptural bowls were used for serving and communal dining, and today are admired for their strong form, warm patina, and quiet presence.

Each piece carries the marks of time and use, giving it a depth and character that cannot be replicated. The subtle variations in tone, texture, and carving reflect the craftsmanship and life of the object.

As with all vintage pieces, this item may show imperfections consistent with age and use. These traces of time are part of its history and contribute to the beauty and authenticity of the piece, and are not considered flaws.
