Two South African tobacco artifacts: Snuff and Pipe, late 19th c.

TAD Tribal Art

Left: Late 19th century  Snuff container from the Tsonga people.  I've only seen one other of this rare type-in London in the 1980s.  It relates to bulbous snuff containers connected by a carved wooden chain, by the Tsonga people, living in the NW Transvaal.     $900   5" length

Right: Late 19th century Pipe with two mirrors, probably Cape Nguni people.  An unusual form-I have not seen another of this type.   $900   3"h x 2.5" w

Both pieces come with display bases

$900.00
