Very special and beautiful  bottle George!

What material is that?.... looks like a turtle shell in some area.

What's the meaning if Ndain and why does it required 3 generations to get one?

I forgot to tell that it is made of beeswax.  There is a bit of a language barrier between myself and the person who helped me identify this.. All I can tell is that Ndiani is what they call the bottle. I think it simply means, "bottle of tobacco powder".   It has taken almost a week to get this far...  My next question is same as yours.. Why does it take three generation.. Will let you know ...  Smiley
