African artisans, amazing enough to this day, use the same methods and techniques as their forefathers in the creation of these objects. The variation seems endless; from towering wooden shoulder masks, imposing nail and feathered statues to dazzling beaded paraphernalia, uniquely carved utilitarian pieces and skillfully molded pottery selections to mention a few. The above vessel is an excellent example of hand crafted pottery from the country of Niger. Perfectly formed, left in natural tone with a hint of reddish trim the pot serves as a superb old world decorative artifact. The Niger pot is over 25 years of age. Please click photo for enlargement!
