Chinese Courtyard Grain Container, c. 1900

About the Item

This rustic wooden container dates to the early 20th century and was once used to store dry goods or household items in a provincial home in Yunnan province. Hollowed from a single tree trunk, the wide container has an organic, asymmetrical form and a faceted exterior textured by blade marks, chisel notches and the irregular wear of antique wood.
