Calabash Tuareg, Niger, Africa

About the Item

This nomadic object has been diverted from its original use. It is a unique genuine old piece with undeniable authentic charm. The signs of wear, scars and repairs testify to the rich life of these everyday objects and cannot be considered as defects. We can observe the traces of an eventful life and after having played their role as containers for a few decades, they will be able to fit into your interior as a singular fruit bowl, trinket tray (or simply as an ethnic-chic decorative object).
