Earthenware Terracotta Clay Female Figurine With Fish Malawi

A female figure with a fish hand modeled with earthenware terracotta clay from Malawi. Fired naturally with a raku technique that created flaming, which can be seen on the back of the figure. Malawi's name originates from the Maravi, a Bantu ethnic group that migrated from the southern Congo around 1400 AD. Splitting upon reaching Lake Malawi, the Chewa and Nyanja groups emerged. Ethnic conflicts and migration hindered a unified Malawian society until the 20th century. Despite past distinctions, present-day Malawi sees reduced inter-ethnic tensions, with a growing sense of national identity. The "Warm Heart of Africa" nickname reflects the people's kindness, not the weather. Indigenous ethnic groups have rich traditions in pottery and clay, basketry and mask carving, and are prevalent in traditional ceremonies. Urban areas also showcase wood carvings and oil paintings. Malawi red clay is known for its edible benefits. Based on a publication in Malawi Medical Journal, it has been observed that both rural and urban pregnant women consume soils. Typically, rural women acquire these soils from specific locations, often in close proximity to their homes. Additionally, urban markets offer these soils to be consumed by traders who have traveled from rural areas. Height: 6.0Width: 2.0Depth: 2.0 150024
