Decorative Coconut Bowls from Vietnam

Unexpected find!

I bought two decorative coconut bowls and I like them very much. The contrast between the two textures (coconut shell on the outside, smooth enamel-like brightly decorated finish on the inside) is unusual, they stand upright and are a good conversation piece It is too soon to tell how well they will stand up over time.

Exquisite indigenous art

This gift is perfect for my anthropologist brother who collects cultural artifacts.
