KORO, FIGURES (ANTHROPOMORPHIC CUPS) ARCHIVES, Nigeria

The Koro people carve figural containers that are used, (according to Roy Sieber in RMN, 1997, p. 298) ,  during services at funerals for drinking and making palm wine offerings.

Most of these, despite their appearance, show no evidence of age or use and were probably made to be sold.
