Antique Nupe Terracotta Gourd

An antique terracotta gourd vessel from the Nupe people, 16" tall x 7" wide, presented on its original woven raffia ring stand. The Nupe are celebrated for a centuries-old tradition of fine pottery from the Niger River region, and this elongated gourd form carries genuine cultural history in both its shape and surface. The raffia ring is a thoughtful traditional detail, giving the piece a stable, elevated presence on a console or shelf. A significant companion to the Antique Nupe Terracotta Pot, together forming a powerful grouping for the serious collector of African antiques and global decorative arts. One of a kind — available exclusively at CASA CDM.
