Ethnic Design-Terraccotta Jug in the shape of a male, Tshokwe People, DRC.
About the Item
This vessel is a striking example of anthropomorphic design, clearly incorporating human characteristics into its form. The upper section features a finely detailed human face, complete with stylized eyes, nose, lips, and an elaborate headdress or hair texture. The neck is elongated and decorated with incised patterns, suggesting body adornment or clothing. The rounded base resembles a human torso or belly, reinforcing the corporeal association. Such vessels not only serve functional purposes but also reflect cultural values, identities, and symbolic representations of the human body in artistic form.
