African Redware Gooseneck Vase

About the Item

Covered in a beautifully worn red clay slip, this hand-formed African vessel has a dramatic silhouette of a squat, ovoid body and a long, narrow neck. Subtly etched crosshatch patterns encircle the base of the vase's long neck, and vertical lines trace the arch of the rounded body. Though the origin date is unknown, the vessel shows clear signs of age and use, but remains in excellent condition.
