SENUFO GOURD

An exquisite, authentic early 20th century gourd from the Senufo tribe of Ivory Coast. This lidded gourd has a wonderful patina with visible stitch repair, which enhances its character.

Senufo gourds are calabash vessels from the Senufo people of West Africa, primarily Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. These gourds are used for various purposes, including storage containers, ritual objects and bridge-harps for music. They are often decorated with intricate carvings that add to their aesthetic appeal. Over time, gourds develop a unique patina, which enhances their character and provides a visual record of their age.
