Seltene Schnupfbox - Chokwe
Fine small snuffbox of the Chokwe people living in Congo.
Ex collection of Samir Borro, a wellknown collector in Brussels.
Now in my personal Dutch collection.
The everyday objects of the Chokwe, such as this snuffbox, are fascinating examples of the art and craftmanship of this people.
The snuffboxes were used to hold tobacco, a valuable commodity often used in social and rutual contexts.
The stopper on top was also used as a mortar.
The presented work is a typical example of a Chokwe snuffbox with a mother holding her child.
Material: wood with a rope to keep the lid into place.
Sizes: 18x7x5 cm.
