| Title |
Snuff Container |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
This snuff container is made of a mixture of hide scrapings, blood, and earth modeled over a clay core and removed after hardening into a leathery material. Both the object’s materials—derived from animals that had been sacrificed to the ancestors—and its purpose—used to store tobacco snuff to be offered to the ancestors—refer to the communication between animals and humans common among southern African cattle herders. |
