This is another of the objects belonging to this diviner, a medicine container.Like the carving, it contains a portrait of the diviner, his open mouth serving as a blow-hole. Powdered medicine was placed in the bowl and then blown towards the patient or the area needing to be cleansed of evil spirits. The handle is carved in the shape of an arm with a clenched fist, representing a magician holding medicine in his hand. The detail is exceptional. A very rare object, beautifully-carved and decorated.Please see further photos below. Get simple, reliable, and affordable image hosting with Vendio today!
