\n more<\/span>This item will have cracks and blemishes as part of their age and character. <\/p>\n

It was used by the Turkana people for quite some time as evidenced by its patina all over the sides and rim where it was most often held. Many of these bowls have repoussé repairs, further proof of their age and use. less<\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
