Item Details

Description

Bamileke Terra Cotta Vessel, Cameroon. This vessel features a rounded form that tapers upwards to a flared rim, with the upper portion decorated with raised figures and lines. Measures approximately 18" x 20" in diameter. In good condition commensurate with age and use. This item originates from the estate of John A. Williams, a distinguished philanthropist and renowned collector. Mr. Williams and his partner Dewitt Hart were influential members of San Francisco's art society and were celebrated for their discerning taste in modern, ethnographic, and fine art. Over the years, they hosted numerous exhibitions in their home, showcasing their prestigious collection to appreciative audiences. All proceeds of items from this estate benefit the Hart Williams Rainbow Fund, a nonprofit working with the LGBTQIA+ community in the San Francisco Bay Area.
