TURKANA HONEY POT (KENYA) 22-24H

Honey pots like this one are part of the material culture of the Turkana people of northern Kenya, traditionally carried and used to harvest and store wild honey gathered from the bush. Their narrow neck and rounded body are shaped to protect the contents while remaining easy to carry.

This example measures 22-24cm H, making it a small size within this Honey Pot range we stock. Its earthy, hand-formed surface has a raw, tactile character that suits a rustic or eclectic interior far better than a machine-made ceramic ever could.

Group a few Turkana Honey Pots of different sizes together on a shelf, or place one alongside an animal figure or a Namji doll for a considered, story-led African curio corner.
