TERRACOTTA POTS, Burkina Faso

Two women's associations of potters exists in west Burkina, near Banfora. One is between the Nankana in Tiebele; the other is between the Karaboro, near Banfora. These groups work for the antiquarians of Ouaga and Bobo and also produce also these pots.

(As we had identified these pots as being from the Lobi people, we are grateful to Valter Maltinti of Milan for his corrections.)
