The bowl of this tobacco pipe is made of clay and is decorated with an abstract image of a frog. The pipe is made of wood. The pipe was made at the beginning of the 20th century near Lake Nyos in the Cameroon grasslands. Around 1900, kings, dignitaries and heads of families in the Cameroon grasslands smoked tobacco. The higher the rank of the smoker, the more splendid the pipe was supposed to be. Around 1908, the ethnologist Bernhard Ankermann (*1869 - †1943) commissioned dozens of tobacco pipes from local artists during a research trip to Cameroon. He bought other pipes in local markets. They were unused when the then Royal Museum of Ethnology acquired them.
