From the museum record

The shape and material of gourd snuff containers—like a woman’s womb, the gourd contains and nurtures the seed—suggest they were made for female users and allude to procreation and fecundity.

Lupin’s visual index

A richly decorated bronze and leather globe features stylized leaf and geometric patterns across its surface.
