卖家的描述
Snuff container – Turkana – Kenya – pelican bone, leather and fibre
Details
Origin: Kenya
People: Turkana
Type: Snuff container / tobacco container
Material(s): Pelican bone, leather, fibre
Dimensions: 16 cm long
Period: second half of the 20th century
Provenance: Collected in situ by the present owner
Description
A fine Turkana snuff container from Kenya, made from a section of pelican bone with leather and fibre elements.
Objects of this type belong to the personal equipment of the Turkana and were used to carry tobacco or snuff. Small, portable and intimate, they were handled frequently and often preserved over long periods.
This example is especially appealing for the simplicity and clarity of its construction. The central section is made from pale pelican bone, forming a compact cylindrical container. Both ends are fitted with dark leather-covered elements, creating a strong contrast of colour and texture.
A braided fibre cord connects the body of the object and allowed it to be carried or suspended. The whole piece has a very honest utilitarian character, with a fine balance between function, portability and visual presence.
The surface shows wear and handling marks consistent with age and use. The pale bone has softened slightly through use, while the leather elements show a dry reddish-brown patina.
A charming Turkana snuff container, appreciated for its compact form, rare pelican-bone construction, preserved leather fittings and strong personal character.
Condition
Good condition overall, with wear, abrasions, small cracks, marks, surface irregularities and age-related wear consistent with use.
Leather and fibre elements preserved.
Beautiful old usage patina.
Please refer to the photographs.
Included
The snuff container only.
No stand included.
