African Ancient Storage Urn

hand coiled ceramic earthenware cremation urn

For millenia ceramic vessels have been used for storage. In many ancient

cultures clay vessels had round bases and were intended to sit into the

earth or in a stand. These vessels were also used as funerary urns. This

particular Urn is a combination of a typical Egyptian or Roman storage

vessel with a pedestal form inspired by an African ceramic stand. The

stand is a tripod that reminds me of tree roots growing into the earth.

Earthenware clay is used for both the vessel and the pedestal. A fine clay

slip known as Terra Sigillata is applied in many layers onto the surface

of the piece and then lightly buffed to give it a soft sheen. It is a very

elegant form.
