  • Modified Item: No
  • Condition: Brought back from Africa 45-50 years ago by a friend who recently passed away. He was in Africa working for the DEA and went on a photo Safari. He purchased this and a Water Buffalo Drinking Vessel Horn on this trip as he traveled through villages on his photo shoot. I, personally have been friends with both John & his wife for the last 32 years. The wife recently downsized, hence the offer on eBay. This measures roughly 18 inches round and is approx 8 inches from the inside handle to the top. Please message with ANY questions!
