This handcrafted wooden bucket was once used by farmers in Shanxi, China,
to transport their rice and grain harvests over long distances.
Counterbalanced by a second container, the bucket was lifted using a pole threaded
through the large handles and supported by the shoulders. This rustic container is shaped like a basket,
with a square basin that narrows at the base and arched handles connected by a horizontal bar.
Years of use have given this large bucket an inimitable texture, particularly at the handle
which has been polished by the contact of many hands.
In its original state, the object has a very beautiful patina and an inimitable raw look. Guaranteed to fall in love
Dimensions:
Total height 56cm
Height without the handle 30cm
Width 41cm
Depth 37cm
