Description
Circular, wickerwork, basketry tray. A blue circle with a black and white border is painted in the center. A large, yellow oval is painted around the blue circle. On the longer edges of the oval, two Katsina are painted, likely the Long Haired (Angak'china) Katsina. The edge is painted black with white ticks and then wrapped with a wide, plant fiber band. The design is duplicate on the reverse.
