This extraordinary ointment pot is an amazing conversation starter, whether you are a collector of all things exceptionally cool or plan to utilize it for its original purpose. Historically used as containers for herbal medicines applied to the skin, this pot is embellished with intricate carvings, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. It features a completely removable lid and includes a separate piece that intriguingly resembles a bracelet.
With its unique and ancient design, determining its exact origin is challenging. However, similar pieces have been identified online as originating from the early 19th century, crafted by the Dogon group from Mali. This piece not only holds historical significance but also adds an exotic and captivating touch to any collection or decor.

All of our inventory consists of pre-owned vintage, antique, or artisan pieces. These items are unique and often carry marks of their previous lives. Brass and silver pieces may show some tarnishing or patina, which I choose not to polish, leaving that decision to the new owner who may appreciate their aged beauty.
I strive to provide accurate descriptions for each listing, and I photograph and note any imperfections. Please review the descriptions and photos carefully before making a purchase. If you have any concerns or issues, please contact me so I can address them and do my best to meet your needs.
In keeping with the spirit of thrifting and sustainability, I reuse shipping and packing materials to reduce waste. Rest assured, your new treasures will be shipped safely and securely.
