Exhibiting classic 19th-century Malian figurative stonework, the vessel reflects traditional ceremonial or high-status utility. Dimensions: 43cm h x 32cm w x 17cm diameter

Good antique condition overall, showing characteristic surface wear, minor scratching, and natural weathering consistent with age and stone construction. There is notable loss and chipping to the central carved face motif on one side, a small chip and red wax or seal remnant on the upper interior rim.
