Zigua calabash (N° 28533) Deposit sale

French collection of African art. Functional object of tribal art, particularly aesthetic and rare in this dimension, from the northeastern region of Tanzania. The stopper of this large and ancient calabash is made of dried leaves, assembled. Tears have been "sewn" using plant stems.
This region borders Kenya, facing the Indian Ocean, where the Paré, Shamba, Zigua, and Mbugu tribes live. A relative homogeneity characterizes the productions of these groups, recalling some of the Malagasy and Bataks with whom, via maritime trade, contact could once have been established.
