Late 19th Century Tribal Snuff Container, Southern Africa
About
The silhouette of this lovely, diminutive snuff container suggests the form of a seed pod or flower bud. Its disc-shaped foot would have allowed for suspension from an earlobe or cord. The pair of tiny, bicolored beads kept inside are thought to be a method to keep the snuff within from caking.
