Description
This blackware gourd is a splendid example of art imitating nature and improving on it. The symmetry and balance of the piece delight the eye while the textured bands--alternating smooth with bumpy--stimulate the touch. A remarkable piece which speaks of a culture very much in tune with the world around it. - (PF.0417)
