Huge calabash lovingly repaired 09.01.1652

This is a large older, beautifully incised and richly patinated calabash from the Fulani tribe of Northern Cameroon. It was a common sight to see Fulani women to bring milk to the market in such vessels, before giving way to Chinese enamelware. The calabash has been lovingly repaired, one of our beutiful piece in our collection.
