About this Item

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Pit-fired earthenware pot with relief patterns

signed and dated 2003

16,5cm high, 21cm diameter

Notes

Nzuza’s pots seem to have been effortlessly inflated from within rather than laboriously built. To anyone familiar with hand-built pots, they are astonishing.

Provenance

Acquired by current owner from Vukani Museum in Eshowe.
