Chamba Bush Spirit Pot

Offered by: PAGODA RED

Description
The Chamba people of Nigeria featured this bush spirit in many art forms. The wide mouth, backswept horns, and bulbous body are hallmarks of the harbinger of death. The ceramicist expertly incorporated those forms into the spout, handle, and body of this sculptural pot. The result is an important object imbued with the Chamba's creation myths and outlook on the dangers of their home. // Depth: 10.5"
