Eastern Great Lakes Woodlands Medicine Bowl with Shouldered Ends
Elm Burl, 8” Length, c.1760-1780

A quietly sophisticated form with deep sides and slightly raised shouldered ends with a subtle beaded edge to aid in handling the bowl. The interior maintains a carbonized surface from heated stones that were used to burn or heat herbally infused remedies.
