Clay vase

Vase with a rectangular base and opening. It has a very massive overall appearance, widening slightly from the bottom to around the centre and then ending with a reduced width in the last third. It is decorated with angular and round geometric patterns, typical Kadiweu patterns. These are notched into the clay, the notches are traced with white paint and the resulting fields are painted with the following colours: Glossy black, olive green, ochre, old pink, dark brown, brown-orange, glossy grey. Opposite sides of the vase each have the same motif. Note: The Kadiweu use the same patterns on their clay products as for the body painting; see Strauss: Sad Tropics.
