Turkana Tribe. Kenya Maasai of Kenya, Turkana Tribe food container. Decorated round wood"food flask" container with camel leather top used by the Maasai and Turkana people of Kenya. Circa 1950s.

Aroma of past contents and animal hide. The Turkana live in the Turkana district of Rift Valley. In Kenya. Their exact number is not known. Estimates run from the old figure of 250. 000 down to 340,000. They are Kenya’s third-largest ethnic group of Nomadic peoples. Like their neighbors the Maasai. Cattle are their primary wealth.

They are carried as container with their everyday food. The leather cord was attached to jug help carry it easily. Located primarily in northwest Kenya and around Lake Turkana. The Turkana migrated to the area from the west. According to legend, young men of the Jie tribe went into the Tarash valley in search of an ox that they had lost. While there they met an old Jie woman gathering fruit. Impressed with the area, they talked other young people into joining them and moved with their stock. Since that time, the Turkana and Jie have been allies. The Turkana are divided into the forest people(Nimonia) and the pe

Like this one, are decorated with beads and cowrie shells. This milk jug still has a mild aroma of what it once contained. These containers were treasured. Mended when broken, and used for years. The Turkana live in the Turkana district of Rift Valley. In Kenya. Their exact number is not known. Estimates run from the old figure of 250, 000 down to 340,000. They are Kenyaâs third-largest ethnic group of Nomadic peoples. Like their neighbors the Maasai, cattle are their primary wealth. They always move from place to place in the search of good pasturage, water and fresh vegetation for the cattle. Many Turkana families are now engaged in agriculture and fishing. While there are a quite few art-producing peoples of Kenyan origin who have contributed significantly to the recognition of East African art, the Turkana, along with their closely related neighbors the Maasai, are arguably among the most important of them all. In fact, much of the art from the Turkana region is composed of a wide variety of everyday objects out of wood, leather and gourd for milk, but in their hands many of these utilitarian pieces have risen to levels of beauty unparalleled in East Africa
