Ancient vase from Safi

Typical red clay vase from the Safi region. Handmade production from the pottery city dating from the 1940s to 1960s, featuring a more naive and symbolic iconography than usual. The decoration consists of four colored compartments separated by large dotted lines depicting a scorpion (a traditional symbol of protection in the Maghreb), a snake, a shell, and a five-pointed star/moon/fish (emblem of Morocco). A beautiful authentic piece for lovers of North African art. Dimensions: H 22.5 cm X base diameter 9 cm. Opening diameter: 9 cm (useful: 7.5 cm).
