- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand or Cambodia, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A hand-carved wooden coconut grater depicting an adorable recumbent rabbit. The bunny rests atop a quartet of retracted legs and has a lean body, a pair of laid back ears atop the shoulders, and a squat, upturned tail. The raised head boasts a pair of inlaid ivory eyes with jet-black ebony pupils, and a curved metal grating tool projects from a small opening in the mouth. A refined work of culinary art from Southeast Asia, traditionally used in the preparation of delectable curries and desserts. Nice patina from age and use. Size: 19.375" L x 7.875" H (49.2 cm x 20 cm)
