The Borana Oromo people of southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya are historically a cattle-keeping culture, and each household keeps a number of traditional vessels for storing and churning cow’s milk. This rounded vessel would have been used within the home, always filled with rich milk in case of a visitor or special occasion. This vessel is made of a dried-out gourd fitted with leather straps to form a simple braided handle. A fantastic display of Ethiopian handicraft, this African vessel offers rich texture and storied history.
