Beautiful wooden bowl with a Mother of Pearl inlay!
The creamy white Mussel shell, from which the insert of the bowl was elaborately handcrafted, comes from the Capiz shell (Placuna Placenta).
The processing of the Capiz shell is very time-consuming, as the different layers of the Mussel shell are first carefully separated and made malleable by soaking.
The capiz mussels for the shell come from farms; the mussel meat is a traditional local food.
