A Symbol of Heritage and Protection
The jar's lid is crowned with a delicately sculpted cow figurine, symbolizing protection, guardianship, and nurturing—values deeply rooted in African culture. This watchful figure not only seals in the jar’s contents but also acts as a guardian of your home’s spirit, reflecting the protective nature of family and community.

Artistry That Tells a Story  
Each vessel is wheel thrown, transforming functional pottery into a work of art that narrates stories of African women’s strength, wisdom, and warmth. The form resembles a cozy home—inviting, comforting, and full of life—crafted to evoke feelings of belonging and cultural pride.

The distinctive checker pattern draws inspiration from the iconic iTyali blankets, which traditionally symbolize the union of two families and serve as a welcoming embrace for new members. Worn with pride, these blankets embody warmth, protection, and love.
