These vessels were used as a ceremonial or celebratory vessel for palm wine. Made by the Suku people in what is now the Republic of Congo, it would date from the late 1800s through the 1920s and would have been hand carved. There is evidence of hand-tooling around the outside and inside and this vessel doesn't have a lot of indications of use, but these were not every-day vessels.
This measures 9.5"W x 4"T x 5"D and there is no damage outside of normal age. It is mostly smooth on the surface with the exceptions of where tooling is evident. Wood grain is visible on most areas of the vessel. It comes from a non-smoking home.
