About this piece
Red, white and black, cut into triangles like a puzzle that was never meant to be solved.
This vessel with a geometric motif is the work of Baganda potters of Uganda, East Africa, in the 20th century, made of terra cotta and painted with pigment. Baganda pottery is commonly burnished and decorated with bold, clean-edged patterns. The round shoulders taper up into a narrow neck and a small flared lip. Large triangles and wedges of red, cream and black fan around the body, meeting in sharp points. The paint has a soft, matte, slightly rubbed finish.
About 12 inches tall. Graphic enough to hold a mantel without a single flower.
