About this piece
A cup like a tulip, with a lip that curves into a spout.
Sukuma craftsmen of Tanzania, East Africa, carved this vessel in wood in the 20th century. Wooden vessels in the region are commonly used for liquids such as milk or beer. The body is tall and tapered, flaring from a narrow foot, with a small pinched spout at the rim. The wood is deep amber and mottled, with lighter, burl-like marks and a worn finish.
About twelve inches tall. Pour with a little ceremony.
