Ethiopia: Ethiopian Tribal used African Borana Milk Container or Jug.
ibal us This is a authentic traditional Old Tribal used handmade Ethiopian Borana milk Container. The size are 26 cm high. This is one of several types of basketry milk containers made and used by the Borana. A pastoral people who raise cattle in southern Ethiopia. The vegetal fibers used in their fabrication are woven very tightly, they are light and extremely durable, and serve as the ideal container for liquids. One of the key characteristics of the gorfa is the application of cowries. Small white shells that enhance the beauty of the container. Among the Borana, all women are expected to learn to make woven milk containers like the gorfa. Milk containers themselves are vital objects in a culture where raising cattle is of central importance. The milk that these containers hold is a symbol of abundance. The container's symbolic meaning ... morestems from its structure-in Borana society. Weaving is associated with fertility. The container and the milk thus symbolize the ideal combination of abundance and fertility, two fundamental requirements for the reproduction and prosperity of the family and community. In this society women produce woven containers and men carve wood containers. Both types of containers may serve the same utilitarian function but they are used in different social settings. There also are containers that have both wood and basketry components and therefore require the work of both a man and a woman, usually a husband and wife or at least members of the family living in the same household. Such containers reflect a fundamental element of Borana culture, a healthy interdependence between the sexes manifest in the complementary roles men and women perform in their families and communities. Part of the Oromo tribe– Ethiopia’s largest ethnic group– the Borana are estimated to total 500.000, but because many live in remote areas it is hard to know exactly how many exist. Borana speak Oromifa. They are traditionally semi-nomadic pastoralists, who depend exclusively on their livestock for subsistence:

Ethiopia: Ethiopian Hamar Tribal used African Butter Container or Jug.
ibal us Ethiopia: Ethiopian Hamar Tribal used African Butter Container or Jug. Old and extremly rare Wooden Butter Jug from the Hamar. The size are 22 cm high. ed African mask from Igbo. Nigeria. Hand carved from a single piece of wood. With color pigments. Height: 64 cm. Living mainly in the forested areas of south-west Nigeria. On both sides of the Niger River the Igbo number some ten million individuals. Mainly farmers and merchants, they also hunt and fish. They are subdivided into thirty-three subgroups and are spread out among about two hundred villages scattered through the thick forest or semifertile marshland. Only on the northern and western edges of the area, under influence from Igala and Benin, are hereditary rulers found. The heads of families form the council of elders, which shares its power with numerous secret societies. ... moreThese societies exercise great political and social influence. They are highly hierarchical, their members passing from one level to the next. There is strong social pressure toward individual distinction, and men can move upward through successive grades by demonstrating their achievements and their generosity. The lack of overall centralization among the Igbo-speaking peoples has been conducive to the development of a great variety of art styles and cultural practices. The earliest sculpture known from Igboland is from the village of Ibo Ukwu. Where the grave of a man of distinction and a ritual store, dating from the 9th century AD, contained both chased copper objects and elaborate castings of leaded bronze. Ibo sculpture is subject to rather strict rules: the figures are generally frontal, symmetrical, and upright, with legs slightly spread, arms held away from the body, and hands stretched forward, palms open. Proportions are true to

Ethiopia: Old Extremly Rare Tribal used Borana "Gorfa" Woven Milk Container.
This is a authentic traditional Extremly rare Old Tribal used handmade Ethiopian Borana"Gorfa" woven milk Container. The size are 28 cm high. This is one of several types of basketry milk containers made and used by the Borana. A pastoral people who raise cattle in southern Ethiopia. The vegetal fibers used in their fabrication are woven very tightly, they are light and extremely durable, and serve as the ideal container for liquids. One of the key characteristics of the gorfa is the application of cowries. Small white shells that enhance the beauty of the container. Among the Borana, all women are expected to learn to make woven milk containers like the gorfa. Milk containers themselves are vital objects in a culture where raising cattle is of central importance. The milk that these containers hold is a symbol of abundance. The ... morecontainer's symbolic meaning stems from its structure-in Borana society. Weaving is associated with fertility. The container and the milk thus symbolize the ideal combination of abundance and fertility, two fundamental requirements for the reproduction and prosperity of the family and community. In this society women produce woven containers and men carve wood containers. Both types of containers may serve the same utilitarian function but they are used in different social settings. There also are containers that have both wood and basketry components and therefore require the work of both a man and a woman, usually a husband and wife or at least members of the family living in the same household. Such containers reflect a fundamental element of Borana culture, a healthy interdependence between the sexes manifest in the complementary roles men and women perform in their families and communities. Part of the Oromo tribe– Ethiopia’s largest ethnic group– the Borana are estimated to total 500.000, but because many live in remote areas it is hard to know exactly how many exist. Borana speak Oromifa. They are traditionally semi-nomadic pastoralists, who depend exclusively on thei

Very few Mursi people speak Amharic and most are unable to read or write. Although a small percentage ... moreof the Mursi tribe are Christians, most still practice Animism, believing that plants, animals and some inanimate objects possess spirits. Mursi tribe girls and women wear lip plates in their lower lips similar to some Amazon tribes such as the Suya tribe from the Xingu River area in Brazil. However.

African Tribal Head Neck Rest Ethiopia (?) Antique Ibis Art Early 20th ?
African Tribal Head Neck Rest Ethiopia( Antique Ibis Art Early 20 th c? A good old rare African tribal neck rest… Appears to have been carved from a single piece of wood… Carving to top and legs(4) show Ibis birds(I assume) I am assuming it is from Ethiopia(see below) if you know more or better let me know and I’ll be happy to update the listing) Patina with good evidence of use wear and age… Original finish… no breaks. No major damage, no repairs… Assuming it dates to the mid/ early 20th century(or earlier) Measures 11 ¾” long 8 ¼” wide 6” tall Provenance A rescue from an estate in the suburbs of Detroit… the owner and her husband were Peace Corps volunteers to Ethiopia in the early 1960’s… While I cannot state with absolute certainty. This was likely a treasure from that time in Africa five(5) decades ago(A donation to our church ... morerummage sale and being sold to benefit their charities) 052014 General Philosophy& Background: The items I am posting to ebay are largely items pulled from‘the basement’ or‘the garage’ interesting vintage/estate items that were too nice to trash or give to a rummage sale. I want/hope they find new homes with appreciative owners/collectors. My philosophy is somewhat‘old school’ to offer with low openings bids and generally no reserve. While I know something about a number of areas of collectibles I am a‘generalist’ and by no means an‘expert’ in books. Silver, ceramics, comic books and so forth. So while I try to describe them in some detail and provide representative photos you will not see them with specific condition grades. Photos are always of the actual item offered in the auction. Most of these items are used, vintage, so some wear is to be expected. Again, if I can detect any specific damage or repairs I will note them; my tendency is to emphasize negative condition issues. If you are a successful bidder and believe that the item is not as represented, let me know within 14 days, I will take it back and refund your money. Terms& Conditions Terms:

The women are independent and equal to men even with building and owning houses. A wife decides who will enter it. And if her husband comes back and finds another man’s spear stuck in the ground outside her house, he cannot go in. There are only about 200 Christians among the ... more150.000 Borana in Ethiopia. Islam has only come to the Borana in the last 100 years. Many Borana have adopted a veneer of Islam over a powerful traditional monotheistic religion. They frequently pray to Waq, the benign god whom they believe"sends the rain and all good things.
