DescriptionThis reddish ceramic vessel with a rounded base was likely used to store water or dry food. Its attribution is uncertain, but based on the color of the clay and the incised cross-hatch designs, it may have been made by an individual from the Idoma people of Nigeria, or possibly the Lobi or Nuna peoples of Burkina Faso.
