Southeast Asia, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A carved hardwood coconut grater bench, shaped in the stylized form of a quadruped animal, fitted with a forged iron grating blade projecting from the mouth. Graters of this type are traditional throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific, where the user sits astride the bench and scrapes halved coconuts against the serrated blade. The dense wood is carved from a single block and retains a rich patina, with the seat polished smooth from generations of use. Size: 12.5" W x 12.75" H x 28.5" D (31.8 cm W x 32.4 cm H x 72.4 cm D).

Provenance: private Los Angeles, California, USA collection, before 2005
