20th C. African Djenne Terracotta Bell-Shaped Item

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $800**

Western Africa / Sub-Saharan Africa, Mali, Djenne, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A large, bell-shaped object, made from thick, heavy ceramic, with a narrow waist and capped by a large, ovoid opening. An item like this was probably used to support a wooden beam through the opening with the round, hollow interior forming a steady base. The exterior is painted a warm, earthy red, with incised bands around its body filled in with black pigment. Djenne is famous for its terracotta architecture, notably its Great Mosque, and for the town of Djenne-Djenno, now an archaeological site that was once an important trading town linked to Timbuktu on the trans-Saharan trade route. Size: 10" W x 15.75" H (25.4 cm x 40 cm)
