Antique African Clay Urn Small

A wonderful antique African clay urn. Extensively hand decorated with a geometric hand-carved scratch pattern. This fabulous urn is beautifully crafted with a stunning sheen and patina.

This earthenware-fired clay pot would originally have been used for storing and carrying water (and sometimes dried goods) on the head. Fabulously tactile to the touch, this organic artisan item is earthy and perfectly imperfect. The perfect piece for the natural, modern rustic or minimally stylish home. These fabulous rustic items are the perfect way to elevate a display on a sideboard or console table. Choose to leave them empty, or fill them with seasonal stems and branches.

Each of our hand-crafted items is unique and has lasted the passage of time and use. Therefore please expect possible rustic imperfections, small knocks, dings and dents.
