Description

wood, partly encrusted dark brown patina, shafts carved with elaborate ornaments, min. dam., slight traces of usage;
serving the simple function of holding the churn handle upright while butter was being made, these carved household objects from Nepal have evolved into a unique design and aesthetic with religious overtones.
