The Ubuntu bowl (african version of the friendship bowl) depicts a circle of women holding hands around the rim of the pottery bowl in a spirit of unity. In typical African fashion, the women are wearing their traditional headscarves and have their babies tied to their backs.
These bowls are handmade from stoneware clay with skill and care. Artists then create hand modelled African women figures, which they attach painstakingly to the rim of the bowl. After the bowls are fired, each bowl is handpainted in Africa’s vibrant patterns and colors. Each bowl has its own unique designs and patterns with the artists signature.
UMUNTU ngumuntu ngabantu “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity”.
Measures approx. 7" x 7" x 6"
