This clay pipe bowl depicts a ruler or a dignitary. It was made at the beginning of the 20th century in the Kingdom of Bali 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. Main catalogue: Pipe bowl made of clay in the shape of a man (upper body only) with a high hairstyle (or cap?); an ornament on the chest
