This is a chapati plate from the Maharashtra region of India. The material is said to be forest wood, and it is a tool for practical use, likely made each time from timber felled in a nearby forest. The powerful and rustic one-piece carving, including the legs, has a solid beauty unique to Indian craftsmanship. It is well-used, with softened edges and a good wood grain. It has an exotic atmosphere, yet a calm feel that blends modernly with interiors. It is old, so there is a slight wobble.
