This is a wonderful Natural Round Beaded Monkey Fruit Gourd Snuff Container from the Zulu Tribal People of South Africa. These small beaded gourds were used to hold powdered snuff or small quantities of medicines or magic potions from a Shaman’s pharmacy. One of the most impressive things about tribal art is its ability to convert everyday raw materials into something special and beautiful.  A very unique necklace to add to your collection or give as a gift.
