| Description |
The seeds and flesh of the gourd have been removed. The remaining hard shell has been used as a container for pebbles used in divination. The gourd or calabash belonged to a healer, sometimes called a medicine man, of the Akikuya tribe of Kenya. The gourd was donated to the Wellcome collections in 1929 by renowned Kenyan archaeologist Louis S B Leakey (1903–1972). As well as his broader work on the African origins of human evolution, Leakey investigated the social and cultural customs of the Akikuya tribe. maker: Akikuya people Place made: Kenya Wellcome Images |
