Ndiani snuff bottle made of beeswax from East Africa, Tanzania of the Gogo and Maasai tribes.
The meaning of Ndiani is "bottle of tobacco"
Original tribe used is Gogo from Dodoma central region in Tanzania. The Gogo (or mgogo singular and Wagogo plural ) are ever-happy, dance-loving and agriculturalist Bantu ethnolinguistic group living in the Dodoma Region of central Tanzania.
Special thank you to Radhidi Lukali who helped me identify this. This Ndiani is about 100 years old. I understand it takes multiple generations to acquire a Ndiani. It is extremely difficult to acquire a Ndiani now days in the Gogo tribe.
