The exhibition label for B states:'Bone, black pigment and wax hair pin and snuff spoon Before 1927 Probably from South Africa Probably made by a South African artist Donated by A. C. Haddon'. The label for A states: 'Bone, black pigment and wax hair pin and snuff spoon Before 1927 Probably from South Africa Probably made by a South African artist Donated by A. C. Haddon.' A and B: 'The combs and snuff-spoons that are part of the traditional cultures of South Africa, including but not exclusively Zulu, are worn as decorative elements in the hair, but also convey status and spirituality. Snuff was, at one time, a rare commodity and so owning it represented wealth; at the same time the effects of snuff linked the users to their ancestors.'
