Antique Hand Carved Footed African Zoomorphic Divination Vessel

$850.00

This Antique Hand-Carved Footed African Zoomorphic Divination Vessel is a rare and culturally significant artifact, hand carved by skilled artisans. Carved from a single piece of rich, aged wood, the vessel features intricate zoomorphic designs, depicting stylized animal forms that hold deep symbolic meaning in African spiritual and divination practices. Hand carved bas-relief sculpted exterior with animals and figures. The vessel stands on elegantly carved jagged feet, elevating it both physically and symbolically, and its smooth, weathered surface bears the marks of its historical use and reverence. Used traditionally by diviners or spiritual healers, this vessel likely held sacred objects, herbs, or liquids during rituals to connect with ancestral spirits or interpret the divine. Most likely Dogon, but the provenance is unknown. In used condition with cracks and wear throughout.
