Corno Africano is a hand-carved bone sculpture, featuring a matte black surface engraved with geometric patterns. Its vertical and tapered shape gives it a totemic presence, while the felt base protects the support surface. In the Vicode selection, it now joins the 1970s Objects collection, replacing its previous name.

Collection: 1970s Objects
Material: Hand-carved bone with felt base
Colour: Black
Dimensions: Ø 7 × H 25 cm
Weight: 0.6 kg
Type: Decorative sculpture


Product Description

The object's strength derives primarily from its profile. The form develops vertically and maintains a relatively thin cross-section, allowing the horn to be used as a small totemic marker on a shelf or console.

The black surface is interrupted by geometric incisions that become more legible with side lighting. The contrast between the dark background and the incised mark avoids the need for additional chromatic elements.

Within the context of 1970s Objects, the piece also reflects the interest of design and interior decoration of that period in natural materials, organic forms, and cultural contaminations. This does not necessarily attribute the object's creation to the 1970s if dating is not documented: the placement concerns curatorial research and aesthetic language.

Use and care
Do not wet the surface. Dust with a soft, completely dry cloth.

The charm of handmade
Incisions and natural characteristics of the material produce slight variations that are impossible to completely standardize. They are part of the object's tactile character and its craftsmanship.

Object Care

The ceramics and products sold on Vicode.it are authentic works of art, made entirely by hand by expert craftsmen who use raw materials and natural colors. Each piece is unique, and variations in shape, color or the presence of small cracks and slight drips of paint are not defects, but evidence of craftsmanship. These details enhance the authenticity and value of each creation, making each product exclusive and unrepeatable.

Made with natural materials and artisanal techniques, our products require special care. Tableware, such as plates, cups, mugs, beer mugs and glasses, are not suitable for microwaves, refrigerators or dishwashers. We recommend washing them by hand with warm water, avoiding sudden changes in temperature. In this way, each piece will maintain its beauty and authenticity, making each use an exclusive experience.
