About this piece
A silver rim, and a stack of cut hexagons below.
Baganda makers of Uganda, East Africa, used wood and aluminum to make this milk jug in the 20th century. Wooden milk jugs were commonly used in East African households, often made from a single piece. The mouth is lined with bright metal, and a column of faceted six-sided plates marches down the front. The honey-brown wood shows a lively grain and a wide, slightly domed shoulder.
About 8 inches tall. Small, compact and good with a light behind it. The grain does the talking.
