Handmade terracotta amphora with colorful pattern and decorative  patina 

Beautiful old terracotta amphora from Niger. The large clay vase comes from Mirriah, a municipality in the middle of the Sahel zone. As in many regions of Africa, pottery is an important craft in Mirriah. The special feature of the beautiful terracotta pots are the colorful patterns that are painted by hand on the large clay pots after firing. Over time, the color flakes off and the amphora gets a wonderful patina. The beautiful large terracotta vase with the flaking paint is very decorative. The amphora is old and has been used and has some signs of usage. The old clay pot stands on a metal ring. One of a kind!
