Karamajong Container 02This container is hand carved from indigenous wood by the Karamajong people of Uganda who are livestock farmers. Due to the arid climate in which they live, every 3 to 4 months the Karamajong people will move their cattle in search of water and pasture and they are skilled in creating functional pieces that are easy to transport from materials readily found in their harsh desert environment. The design of the jugs have been developed over the years

The basket is crafted from finely woven reed and would an infusion of indigenous tree bark would be used to cover the inside of the container to make it watertight

Each horn will vary slightly and natural markings or colour pigments may occur
