Indigenous woodenware

The bowl to end all bowls. Hand hewn, I'm assuming from Mexico and also assuming from a large Mesquite tree. Early 20th century, or even late 19th century. Estate sale find, in Albuquerque.


This piece could be from the Tarahumara Indians (Raramuri in the tribe's indigenous language) in the state of Chihuahua, northern Mexico.
