This hand-carved eating bowl was used by the Waodäni people of Ecuador. It was kept by Elisabeth Elliot as a reminder of her time living among the tribe as a Christian missionary during the late 1950s. Elisabeth and her husband, Jim, became missionaries in the 1950s to people living in remote regions in Ecuador. After Jim’s death, Elisabeth returned as a missionary to the Waodäni people.
