Kuduo Box - Ashanti People - Ghana - SOLD

Price: $0.00


 


The Kudo ceremonial vessels were cast by the lost-wax process. Offerings & sacrifices are placed inside when "washing the soul" and remembering the first people of the clan. The Kuduo served for the storage of gold dust, other precious objects and food. They were used as prestigious containers and were placed in front of ancestral stools at times of sacrifices, and at funerals. Usually decorated with complex village scenes on the lid.

This kuduo is exquisitely cast and features 11 figures around a mancala board, 6 chameleons, and a number of geometric patterns.

14"H x 7"Dia.
