Beautiful bronze vessel pot from Ghana. Nicely cast with two figures on the sides. This interesting and rare piece has a wonderful patina and is a fine statement piece that looks stunning on display.

Gold dust pots which are also known as Kuduo were once used by the people of Ghana in which to store their valuable possessions such as gold dust. Each one is individually made using the lost wax method and is unique as the mould is damaged in the process of making the item.
