Tiny Beehive Turned Maple Burl Bowl

Circa: 1760-80
Size: 3 1/8" D x 1 3/4" H
Rare VERY thin turned bowl. When turned over the beehive turnings are evident. Deep proportions. Dark, complex color and surface. A neat, but puzzling detail of the bowl is that there are four evenly spaced tiny holes below the rimÑI have yet to figure out their purpose. Ex DeVere Card.
