About this piece
Dark as strong tea, with one silver zipper.
This milk jug is from the Baganda of Uganda, East Africa, and dates to the 20th century. It is made of wood with aluminum. Wooden vessels of this kind were commonly used for storing milk. The tall body narrows to the top, in a deep brown that nearly reads as black, and a single saw-toothed strip of aluminum runs from the rim down the front.
About 13 inches tall. Dark, tapered and a little formal. Put it beside something pale. It suits a bare wall and a single bright bloom.
