Measuring 18 3/4" tall this is the best quality walaja of the type that is used most often in Mali. It is really old and has lots of signs of its age; cracked and mended, its owner kept on using it until the day we got it. Please click on the image to see the other side of it. I bought this myself years ago from the owner of it and I have kept it in my personal collection ever since.
