NUPE
Pot 16
14.5" high x 14.5" wide
$600
SOLD

This Nupe pot has been vetted as authentic, with signs of age and use. 

There are some small chips on the top rim. In addition to bands of geometric designs there is a nicely inlaid animal image, probably a lizard or crocodile (see detail above).

The base is rounded so the raffia ring, similar to what would aid in carrying a filled pot on the head, is included.
