- Description
- A stunningly crafted calabash, fully adorned with intricate beads in an array of vibrant colours—pristine white, lush green, sunny yellow, fiery red, deep black, and calming turquoise. The handle is elegantly designed with a striking strip of navy and yellow beads, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. This beautifully decorated calabash serves a significant purpose: it is used by a traditional doctor to carry powdered medicine, embodying both artistry and cultural importance in its form.
