WONDERFUL AFRICAN TURKANA MILK GOURD -BASKETRY COVERING

Turkana peoples, Kenya. This is a wonderful example of a certain beauty found in everyday utilitarian form; here, in a simple milk container, fashioned from a gourd, but with wonderful basketry woven overlay. The Turkana are a pastoral people, and milk is an important part of their diet, as their cattle is to their lives. Large and impressive, measuring approximately 10 1/2" - 26 cm. in height and in excellent condition, this is wonderful!
