Ethiopian vesselDescription
These milk vessels are traditional containers used for carrying and storing milk. They are typically made from a combination of gourds, basketry, mud or clay, and leather. The vessels are often adorned with cowrie shells, adding to their decorative appeal.
One notable characteristic of these vessels is their lingering odor, which is a result of their historical use for storing milk. Despite efforts to alleviate the odor, it may still be present due to the materials used in their construction and their long history of use.
