A Most Interesting Well Carved Lignum Vitae Caribbean Folk Art “Rastafarian” Culture Marijuana Smoking Device. I Understand These Carved Heads Were Were Used By Individuals and Hand Held For Group Marijuana Smoking Ceremonies. There is a Through Hole From the Mouth to the Top of the Head for a Tube That Would be Extended From a Common Smoking Source to the Individual Participant. The Carving is Very Nicely Done Using a Very Hard Native Wood and Represents a “Rastafarian Man’s” Upper Body. Nice Original Paint. Probably from the 1930’s or 1940’’s. A Nice Cultural Piece of Folk Art
