Old Weathered Wood And Leather Container With Metal Repair From Africa

About the Item

An exceptional and well worn dark wood and leather container with a truly unusual and handsome patina. The graceful shape of this African piece is complemented and emphasized by the extraordinary wear to the wood body and the leather straps that encircle the bulbous base of the vessel. The simple metal repair highlights all of the other evidence of daily use. A rare object that will add warmth and a sense of place to any home.
