Description

Add a touch of Tibet to your hallway with this antique Tibetan butter churn. These churns double perfectly as modern day flower stands. Beautifully patinated and constructed from yellow pine wood bound with willow bindings. 

 

Originally these churns came complete with a plunger and were used to create butter and beer. The pine and willow wood is locally sourced as willow is one of the most common woods in Tibet and grows along the river banks and around the villages. 

  

Dimensions:

30 x 30 x 94 (wxdxh cms)
