Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Kwoma pottery used in a fertility cult linked to the harvest of yams. The shape of this pottery is reminiscent of the yam itself, a sacred tuber. Fully sculpted terracotta with tribal designs enhanced with natural pigments or paint. Probably used as a flute. Sound obtained by blowing as in the neck of a bottle. Exhibited and sold with a metal base.
