Snuff Bottle with Lanyard
Snuff bottles of this general form are identified with the Kwere, Zaramo, and Doe (Wadoe) peoples of coastal Tanzania, but may have been used, traded, and fabricated by neighboring peoples as well. Vintage photographs show women wearing strings of such bottles around their necks, suggesting that they contained healing or protective substances as well as, or instead of, powdered tobacco. Ex East Coast, U.S. collection. $370
