Old Indian Carved Parath Bowl

Paraths were used in India as mixing bowls for making chapatti and paratha bread. Bowls like this are found all over India. The best wooden parath bowls like this one are carved from a single piece of timber. This bowl is made from teak wood and is from Rajasthan. It is over 100 years old and covered with a rich patina from years of use.

Lovely quality bowls like this are now less and less commonly found as many are broken or stripped of their patina.
