Tuareg tobacco purse and pipe 21.03.1618

The Tuareg "ǝlbayt" snuffbox is probably made by leatherworkers of Tidjikja  in a purely Mauritanian style.The snuffbox  has  four pockets with flaps. These "wargāt" leaves bear the names of the various objects that are stored in the snuffbox: the tobacco leaf, the tinder, the lighter and the pipe cleaner. The snuffbox ends with a pompom of leather "hair" and closes with a small leather cord. With the snuffbox comes a pipe made out of bone, black wood, copper and white metal.
