 IGBO, Bowl 5
8" high x 16" wide
$450
SOLD*

These objects were most probably used as offering vessels or serving dishes for kola nuts or other food. Their social use and status was important in Igbo hospitality. The lidded chambers were for palm oil, pepper or other sauces.

Despite its appearance we believe this bowl was made to be sold.
