    Vintage Tutsi Milk Container 26

    £125.00
    BB Club Price: £112.50

    An ornate milk container, hand-carved from a single block of wood and finished with tin embellishments. Vessels like these were everyday tools among the Tutsi people of Rwanda and nomadic communities across Burundi, Kenya and northern Tanzania, traditionally used to carry milk, water, honey and provisions.

    Today they make beautiful decorative objects — lovely on a mantelpiece, as a dry-flower vase, or simply displayed as an object of art. The authentic markings and signs of age are part of the character, and no two are alike.

    Size: approx. 13cm H × 9.2cm L × 6.2cm W.
