Umbono is a series of modeled shapes created by Christina Peel. All the jars are built up individually. They are handmade in a sausage technique where each finger press is part of the expression and creates a pattern that follows the shape from top to bottom. The jar comes with a hole in the bottom, which makes it well suited as a flower pot.

All the sculptures are unique, the pictures are intended as illustration.
