African potters--primarily women--handbuild a variety of vessels that they embellish with beautiful colors, designs and motifs before firing them at low temperatures. Containers made for daily use hold water or serve as cooking utensils. They also make vessels to be used in special ceremonies or that become part of an assemblage of objects placed in a shrine. Teke pottery is noted for its subtle cream-colored clay bodies with brilliant colored slip lines and bands in bold geometric designs. Teke potters fashion many different kinds of vessels, including this example which probably held water.
