Provenance
A private collection.
As the daughter of a local weaver, Kande Ushafa came from a family of craftsmen and potters. Traditionally, pottery was considered a woman's exercise due to the gender normative roles conventionally related to pots such as cooking and domestic displays. What was equally traditional was the application of incising decoration onto works by using a comb made out of broken bits of bone or grass.
