'War Paint pot' yeah right! - African Bronze
Heres a little pot I bought at the weekend. Picked it up to have a look and the chap selling it decided to give me its lifestory!
Well, tell me a tall tale anyway! Apparently its a warriors 'war paint pot' LOL that his grandfather bought back from some conflict in Africa! I think he mistook my trying not to laugh for enthusiasm But as it was cheapish and I couldn't keep the grin off my face I ended up buying it! In fairness, it does seem to have real age. So, can anyone tell me what it really was made for? Oh, and where its from? |
