賣家描述
Snuff container – Kamba attribution – Kenya – horn, wood, aluminium and chain
Details
Origin: Kenya
People / Culture: Kamba attribution
Type: Snuff container / tobacco container
Material(s): Horn, wood, aluminium, chain
Dimensions: container itself: 10.5 cm long
Period: probably 1950s–1960s
Provenance: Collected in situ by the present owner in Kenya in the 1990s
Stand: None
Description
A fine Kenyan snuff container, attributed to the Kamba, made from horn with a wooden base, aluminium pegs, a small wooden stopper and a suspension chain.
Containers of this type belong to the personal equipment used for carrying powdered tobacco snuff or related substances. Small, portable and carefully made, they were intimate objects intended to be worn, handled and preserved over time.
This example is especially appealing for its elegant curved form. The dark horn body has a long, slightly flaring silhouette, almost sculptural in profile. The surface shows a deep black-brown patina, with lighter rubbed areas and traces of handling consistent with use.
The base is made of wood and fixed with small aluminium pegs, a practical and characteristic repair or construction detail. A small wooden stopper closes the narrow end, while the chain allowed the object to be suspended or carried on the body.
The object has a strong personal character: compact, functional, beautifully patinated and visually balanced. Its combination of horn, wood, aluminium and chain gives it both ethnographic interest and decorative strength.
A very attractive Kenyan snuff container, appreciated for its elegant horn form, preserved stopper and chain, old usage patina and personal character.

Good condition overall, with wear, abrasions, small marks, surface irregularities and age-related patina consistent with age and use.
Wooden base preserved, fixed with aluminium pegs.
