Collected by naturalist and philanthropist Eli Weiss in the 1980’s. 9.5″ tall x 6″ diameter. Borana Chocho (milk container) woven from plant fibers and sealed with animal fat. Used to store and serve milk to guests at special occasions, such as weddings and feasts. After use, the container is cleansed with charcoal. This operation is called’qoraasuu’ and gives the milk a rich fragrance and distinctive taste. The inner surface is black, dense and aromatic. The Borana people of Ethiopia are semi-nomadic pastoralist herders belonging to the Oromo ethnic group. The word’Borana’ refers to the people, their language and translated as’friend’ or’kind person’. Representing the Eli Weiss Collection of African Art. A lifetime of travel, passion, activism, philanthropy and genuine humanity lead to the accumulation of these wonderful objects spanning a great breadth of the African continent. Please message me with any concerns or questions. Steven is an Artist, Educator and Dealer with an excellent reputation and 25 years of professional experience.
