Brass Ring Bowl

The Potawatomi used many different size bowls for many different things. They used them to hold their medicines, supplies, and food when they were preparing or serving it. The bowls were often carved out of wood and used as a means of storage. This bowl is 11 cm in diameter, and 5 cm deep. It was exchanged in 1968, but was likely made before that. The knob on this bowl is decorated with a trade brass ring. The Potawatomi used many different types of trees to make wooden bowls. The most commonly used were beech trees, though it is unclear what kind of tree was used to make this particular bowl.
