Description
Africa, Southwest Niger, Terracotta Head, 3rd-11th Century | Bura peoples | Between the third and tenth centuries, the dead were laid to rest at a site in present-day Niger downstream from the Inland Niger delta. The burial ground's density and expanse suggest a veritable city of the departed. Several hundred individual graves were marked by upturned pottery urns, some of which were cylinders topped by figurative imagery including highly abstract, independent heads. Approx. Dimensions: 7.5" H x 3" W x 3" D.
