Norwegian Drinking Bowl
notes: label: Description
content: This Norwegian drinking bowl is carved in the form of a goose and features <i>rosemaling</i>, or decorative floral folk painting originating from the low-lands of Norway. Bowls were typically carved from a single piece of birch wood and featured incised decoration produced through chip carving. Due to the revival of Norwegian folk art in the 19th century, <i>kasas</i> were widely reproduced for use as decoration.
