About this piece
Two silver rosettes and a trail of beaded lace.
This milk jug from the Baganda of Uganda, East Africa, is made of wood and aluminum and dates to the 20th century. Wooden jugs of this type are commonly linked to milk storage. The tall tapered form is a glossy dark brown. Near the rim, a small cluster of metal pieces hangs from a chain-like strip, and a round flower-shaped patch sits lower on the side.
About 12 inches tall. Elegant, with a mended past. It earns its place on any mantel.
