The Director Ezra - African Carved Clay Pot

Ezra is a  beautiful hand made and carved African ink pot.

His carved earthenware clay, has a tactile surface is in rich brown colour.

His round body had protruding vessel arms, his main vessel body is sill water tight    

A very rare antique clay pot from the Hausa/Fulani Tribe from Kano Nigeria. 

Ink and dye would be stored in it to write on wooden slates. 

His  4 small holes at the central opening are for cord, which would have been threaded through and tied in a manor for the pot to be worn and carried.

Ezra is in a uniquely crude form with hand work and messages in the carved surface markings. 

He has some patina and wear and shows rich antique condition.

He is a very good usable quality to still be used as a vessel today.

This will be especially desirable displayed on a shelf. Be creative with your end use.
