A double head Mangbetu Terracotta.

"The people of this tribe produced a large variety of highly developed art and music, such as harps, guitars, pots, and other crafts.[1] Their pots are still prominent in today’s art spectrum, and ones that have been constructed in the early days of the tribe are sold to collectors. The Mangbetu people constructed three types of pots: the Large Pot (also known as nembwo), the Small Pot, and sculpted/decorated pots. The nembwo is used to serve general purposes, such as getting water from the lake and carrying vegetables. The smaller pots were used for more specific tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and pouring. The decorative pots were made more as a hobby, and nowadays used as collector’s items"Source: Wikipedia
