Summary

[edit]
Description

This little ceremonial container supports a beautifully carved little figure adorned with white beads and metal ear hoops. I think the container is built from a gourd which is covered with woven fiber. The encrusted surface appears to have been applied at different stages during the life of the piece.I think that the top and base with legs are constructed from wood inserted into the gourd. I do not know the function nor previous history of the piece except that I collected it in Africa in 1999 It measures 48 x 20 x 19 cm Price is AUD 730
