Lots of pots: Kenya's clay pots

On the grounds of Nairobi’s Sankara Hotel are lots of large clay pots. Traditionally, in Kenya the wide-topped clay pots are used to store water, but for the hotel, the authentic pots are strikingly decorative.

There is also a display of Kenyan pots and vessels in the Nairobi National Museum, showing the vast range of designs, styles, and sizes.
