The Calabash form is evidence of a fusion of influences. Njalikwa's Calabash form is inspired by the traditional food and drinking vessel used throughout Africa. The slightly distorted shape also reflective of the sea urchin and it's shell like form. However, the most delightful thing about the Calabash form is not just it's appearance but how comfortably it fits and locks into the palm of your hand, making it a truly unique and ground breaking piece of ceramic design.
''Ngoni warriors would feast on chibuku (beer) and nshima (food), their calabashes held high in the air, overflowing and filling their stomachs for the battle ahead.''
The Calabash is a vessel that demands to be filled with food for a feast to conquer life's battles!
