Primitive pottery from North Africa (the Rif in Morocco). Simultaneous art and craft, the tribal African pottery is one-of-a-kind.
Traditional female pottery from North Morocco (Rif). The small animal sculpture (here a bull, cow, or buffalo) is handcrafted according to ancestral primitive techniques.
Those animals made of terra cotta are genuine tribal pieces of art. Geometric or abstracts patterns embellish the sculptures. Simultaneous art and craft, each primitive African pottery is one-of-a-kind.
Warm and earth shades, the decorations are tone-on-tone.
Women solely craft the modeled potteries. They usually make functional objects for rural life (pots and vessels used to carry water, drink, or preserve food). Berber women also build animals potteries to delight children.
