- Title
- Ibhekile yophatha izinto zokutshaya
- Description
- This object in question is a receptacle designed for the preservation of smoking accoutrements, encompassing tobacco, igniting implements, and occasionally confectioneries. The described billy can is distinguished by its adornment with bands of beads and further embellished with bead trimmers, pearl buttons, and pink woollen pompoms. This multifaceted decorative approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the container but also reflects a certain cultural or personal significance attributed to the act of smoking and the items associated with it.
