Primitively Formed Naga Grinding Table
A wonderfully primitively formed hand-carved grinding table from Nagaland, India. Late 19th Century.
Naga tables were originally used by the Naga tribes people of Northeast India to grind grain. Ā The hole in the centre was where the grains were housed to be ground with long poles.
Carved from a single piece of wood, silvered, weathered and eroded through time and use.
A primitive banal and everyday object to the people of Naga, but a testament to the art of form and function from a unique culture and an ancient tradition.
ToĀ us, a sculptural work of art, dynamic and graphic in aesthetic, yet beautifully patinated and textured. Epitomising the notion of wabi sabi. Perfectly imperfect.
