A highly sculptural 19th century dug out continental grain bin, formed of a single tree trunk painstakingly hollowed out by hand, with an applied plank base. Would have originally been a storage vessel for grain on a remote farm and served as an improvised alternative to a coopered barrel. Vernacular design in its rawest form. H 79 cm x W 65 cm
