    East Sepik is a province in Papua New Guinea.
    These pots called 'Noranggau' are traditionally used as sago jars for storage and are made by the Iatmul people of Aibom village, Chambri Lakes, East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea.

    Larger versions are used to store sago and traditionally were made from clay collected by women from clay pits at the bottom of Aibom Mountain. The pots were then made and decorated with images of animals and spirits by the village men and were traded for sago, dried fish and betel nut with other villagers along the Sepik river. These days the women make and decorate them for the tourist trade.

    This pot is only 15 cm high and would have been collected by a tourist in the late 20th century visiting the area in Papua New Guinea.

    H 15.5 cm.

      That's a bit cool.

      Very cool to know the background of the piece. I say: there's always, always a story. And the story is often more intriguing, which is not to say valuable, than the object itself. If I tell you there's a painting in my guest room of a tabletop with a beautifully textured jug, yellow-glazed on its top half, and it's filled with orange Chinese lantern flowers; there is a seashell, and also a blue-glass inkwell. Okay, vaguely intriguing, but what if I add: Albert Einstein's granddaughter-in-law, octuagenarian Cassandra, painted it? More intriguing, isn't it?
      Anyway, I appreciate the back story. I think the history of the world should be taught from the art angle. It's fascinasting stuff, Art History, and integral to every stage of the development of civilization. I for one wopuld have paid more attention in History if stuff like your entry had been the norm.
