Handmade old Nupe pottery

Beautiful old terracotta amphora from Nigeria. The large terracotta water vessel was hand potted by the Nupe people of Nigeria. The Nupe are an ethnic group native to north central Nigeria. They are the dominant ethnic group in Niger State and a minority in Kwara State. Water was stored in these large heavy clay vessels. Now the beautiful large terracotta vase is a great decorative object. The amphora is old and has been used and has some signs of use. Unique!
