Tobacco pipe with a pottery bowel with wooden stem and copper mouthpiece. In the 1930s,
when this pipe was made, tobacco was one of the main non-food crops in the Nuba
mountains. It was principally smoked by elder men and women as a leisure activity. In
addition to goats, suitors gifted tobacco to the relatives of the bride and tobacco was often
distributed to initiated men at festivals and other important events.
