Umuvure Wooden Barrel - Rwanda 90.1 Zombies store and serve beerA traditional Umuvure barrel from Rwanda, hand carved from a single section of timber. Vessels like this were used to ferment urwagwa, the local banana beer an everyday object at the centre of community brewing and gatherings. Old metal repairs are left visible and add to its character. A long, striking sculptural piece now, equally at home as a floor vessel, a trough style planter, or a statement object.
