Description: Very rare hand carved wood bowl by Filipino artist JP Alcantara. He is most known for his wood, carved mother and child statues. This bowl is a rare find, gorgeous, and so beautifully handcrafted. In beautiful condition and quite large! Would make an excellent statement piece. I believe this is made of Taverneau wood based on my research however I am not certain of this. Born in 1911 and passed away in 2005, Jose P. Alcantara was a renowned Filipino sculptor, muralist, painter, inventor and businessman. Alcantara is remembered for his contributions to the rich and diverse Filipino art scene, and is known as one of the greatest sculptors that the country has ever produced. A native of Manila, Alcantara began his career in art at the age of ten as an apprentice in a sculptural shop in the Quiapo district. He would go on to hone his craft over the course of his lifetime, and go on to win multiple prizes in competitions held by the Art Association of the Philippines, as well as various awards in the United States where he emigrated later in life.
