Clay bowl

The deep clay bowl has a wavy rim with three heights and depths. It is decorated with angular and round geometric patterns, typical Kadiweu patterns. These are carved into the clay, the notches are traced with white paint and the resulting fields are painted with the following colours: black, olive green, ochre, old pink, cream, sand and various shades of brown. Note: The Kadiweu use the same patterns on their clay products as for body painting; see Strauss: Sad Tropics.
