    Description

    A LARGE NYASALAND SNUFF BOTTLE. CARVED FROM A SINGLE PIECE OF TIMBER. CARVED OUT FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE VESSEL TO A VERY FINE AND THIN WALLED BOTTLE. A BULBOUS CENTRE SECTION WITH CARVED TRIANGULAR DECORATION. AN ORIGINAL LEATHER THONG IS CONNECTED WITH STEEL WIRE TO THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE, HOLDING A GOURD DISK STOPPER. THE NECK IS BOUND IN A THIN STEEL BAND. THE BASE WAS BOUND IN THE SAME STEEL BAND, BUT IT IS NOW MISSING. THE BOTTOM HOLE WOULD HAVE BEEN PLUGGED WITH A GOURD DISK. BUT IT GIVES YOU A GREAT LOOK INTO THE INSIDE, HOW FINE THESE ITEM WERE CRAFTED.
    I HAVE MY LAST THREE OF THESE LISTED.
    THIS ONE IS 70 MM TALL AND HAS A 50 MM DIAMETER
    POSTAGE WITHIN AUSTRALIA IS $ 10
