Mossi, Burkina Faso: a large, pottery storage vessel, called ‘sim baore', for grain or water.
A large, tall and thick-walled storage vessel of the Mossi, made of reddish, fired clay. For storing millet, drinking water, clothing or other important objects in the farmsteads of the Mossi. On the outside it is decorated with bulging lines in relief in waves and prongs, as well as with short, straight bulging lines below on the ‘shoulder’ of the vessel. This relief decoration is derived from the typical scarification marks of the Mossi women. A small loss to the upper margin. Otherwise completely preserved, with old usage patina and without further damage (rare).
Height: 69 cm; diameter: 23 cm (the spout above). First half of the 20th century.
Provenance: From the private collection of the celebrated actor Sieghardt Rupp (1931–2015). (ME)
Lit.: 'Erde und Erz' by K.-F. Schädler, ill. 131.
