A trio of Containers, Gurage, Ethiopia

A collection of three distinct Ethiopian containers crafted by the Gurage people. The first, made of clay and rattan, features a charming conical-shaped lid. The second is a wooden container, while the third is also wooden but topped with a hide lid. Traditionally used for storing spices and butter, these containers date back to the late 20th century. Their dimensions are as follows: the clay and rattan container measures H 25 cm x W 11 cm, the wooden container is H 12 cm x W 9 cm, and the container with a hide lid is H 10 cm x W 8 cm. Sold together as a single collection, they embody both functionality and cultural heritage.
