Naga Pot, Nagaland, India, mid 20th century

Hollowed from a single piece of wood, this vessel was originally used for fermenting rice beer in the Naga highlands of northeastern India. Heavy, dark with age, and standing on three carved feet. The surface carries decades of use and smoke. Works beautifully as a planter for trees or large plants
