This a beautifully etched and burnished Milk Gourd from Tanzania. These gourds were used to contain Milk or Water. A woman would collect Water and every night and sleep with them beside her bed. In the morning, she would rinse her hands and milk her cows, calling them by name. She would traditionally fill several gourds, one for her husband, one for her children, one for an unmarried warrior who must be sustained by the community he protects ,and the remainder for herself. This gourd were treasured and necessary in everyday life. This was collected in the field and shows age and use. This is beautiful as home decor or given as a gift or to add to your collection

The item is beautiful for display. I needed it to do more. The company is working with me to make things right. I couldn't ask for anything more.
