Unusual items from Timor

[asomotif]

Hello Colin,

This is very cool, bamboo containers that where already treasured 88 years ago.

I must say that David is making a very good point, which made me read the lists one more.

One list tells us that it is a container used to carry cigarettes.
This seems correct to me. A lot of old containers in collections are described as being used to carry tobacco. so why not cigarettes.

The other list indeed mentions a container, and than clearly separate the contents.

So it is not a shamans container with contents.

But still very cool :-)

Best regards,
Willem
