Joan Lea Creations 1950s Head Of A Nubian Woman Vase Planter
With it’s limited palette of black, gold and red, this vase or planter is striking. It is shaped as the head and shoulders of a woman from Nubia, an ancient region and trade corridor in North East Africa, now northern Sudan and southern Egypt, that extends along part of the Nile. A mid-century design, this was produced by Joan Lea Creations of California. It measures approximately 13 x 15 x 10 cm and is an iconic 1950s piece. It comes with some wear to the gold and some minor glaze blisters. Would work as a vase with fresh or dried flowers and as a planter for a small houseplant.
