Haitian Carved Wood Bowl — a soulful and sculptural piece carved with skill and meaning by Haitian artisans. Crafted from dense native hardwood, this shallow bowl showcases a stylized bird with extended wings, carved in relief across one side and finished in a high-gloss, two-tone surface that contrasts rich brown stain with raw wood. The result is both decorative and symbolic — a testament to the strength and freedom of Haitian cultural identity.
Wood carving is a foundational art form in Haiti, passed down through generations as a medium for storytelling, resistance, and beauty. Whether reflecting mythology, fauna, or human experience, these carvings channel spiritual and communal narratives. Bowls like this are often sold at markets and co-ops, helping to sustain local economies and cultural preservation
