Provenance: - Imelda and Paul (1924-2014) Berger-Frei, Riehen. - Berger-Frei community of heirs, Basel. It is difficult to determine in retrospect exactly when tobacco began to be smoked in West Africa, but it is certain that it reached sub-Saharan Africa very early on, in the first centuries AD, via trade from North Africa. It is also obvious that the pleasurable consumption of tobacco and the smoking of hemp can still be an essential part of ceremonies and rites today, in addition to personal pleasure. Tobacco pipes come in a wide variety of sizes, materials and shapes. As personal possessions of men and women, the various smoking instruments are an outward sign of prestige and wealth. While simple pipes served only the primary purpose of smoking and were more easily accessible, particularly ornate tobacco pipes were the privilege of wealthy notables and rulers.
