CALABAR, Cross River State, Nigeria. A terracotta pseudo-bottle with an ovoid body decorated with interlacing motifs and a rounded face. Presumed to date from the XIV-XVI century. Height: 31 cm. Small chips and missing pieces. Provenance: Collection of a couple of collectors, Blois. Note: Calabar urns or pseudo-bottles were kept in caches, which contained numerous ritual objects, which explains the very good conservation of these terracottas.
