Large and Heavy Wooden Vase or Planter

SOLD

Large wooden vase or planter, hand turned by I would imagine a hobbyist, despite the old label on the base (the address no longer exists, the site is now occupied by a health centre). The bowl is impressively heavy as in fact it's almost solid, the inside having only been hollowed out by the width of the internal neck diameter (approx 6.5cm and 9cm deep, as opposed to the 13cm total height. The neck is well turned and fairly smooth, the body rather less so although the shape is pleasing to the eye. There are a couple of cracks on one side but they don't appear too serious although one does extend a couple of inches into the body. In some respects it is unfinished and would I think suit another hobbyist or turner as there is plenty of wood left to work. I'm not sure of the timber - possibly oak.

13cm x 17cm (d)

Small Hand Carved Wooden Dolphin Ornament

Small ornamental hand carved wooden dolphin. It's in a lightweight light coloured wood and while it does have a few small marks and what look to be splash marks it's in overall very good condition. The contrast in the pictures has been tweaked a bit to highlight the marks which are not as pronounced in normal light.

Handcarved Wooden Tortoise Within a Tortoise Ornament

SOLD

Small hand carved wooden tortoise or turtle. The shell has been carved into a kind of lattice and if you look closely there's a pair of eyes inside and a very rough looking baby tortoise!

Hand Made East African Bao or Mancala Game

SOLD

This is a small hand made version of the traditional East African mancala type game of "bao". It is four rows of eight pits with 64 "seeds". It is made from a heavy wood that has, I think, been stained black to resemble ebony (there is a little knock to one end through which a much lighter wood is showing). The two sides are hinged together and each is carved with a stylised elephant and trees. It has a pleasing rustic feel while no doubt having been made for the souvenir trade. There should be 64 seeds although there are only 45 present here. I dare say some spares would not be hard to come by. There are also no rules but a quick search of the internet reveals there are several forms of the game and a set of rules shouldn't be too hard to come by.  Overall general condition is very good and it's a nice piece to sit on the sideboard.

Handcarved Wooden Tortoise Shaped Ashtray

Small hand carved wooden ashtray comprising two tortoises joined at the tail. I am guessing it's an ashtray solely because of the grooves just behind the heads, however it's quite small so could be something else. It's a very dark red wood, with a purple hue, slightly reminsicent of the rosewood fingerboard on my guitar (as you may spot, timber identification is not my forté!). It's a sweet little thing though, an unusual addition to your tortoise collection and in excellent condition.
