Product description
A very rare and high-quality hand-carved desk bowl depicting a sower with the rising sun. A special piece of the life reform movement from the 1920s. Here, nature-loving peasantry is depicted as an important source of life. Very elaborate work. Still a particularly beautiful and useful decoration for the desk today, e.g. as a tray for high-quality writing utensils!

The figure of a sowing farmer in front of a rising sun is a powerful symbol in the context of the life reform movement, which gained importance at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. This image stands for the striving for a harmonious connection between man and nature. The sowing farmer embodies not only the return to natural ways of life, but also the hope of a new beginning and a better future. The rising sun symbolizes light, knowledge and the promise of a new chapter in life. In the life reform movement, which criticized the effects of industrialization and advocated a healthy lifestyle close to nature, this depiction became an expression of a deep longing for a life in harmony with natural rhythms. It illustrates the desire to promote both physical and mental health through conscious nutrition, physical exercise and spirituality.
