Description Taino Type 1 Cohoba inhaler. Published. Twin birds fit the Taino cosmo-vision of duality, or complimentary opposites, i.e. man/woman, sun/moon, right/left etc. in this case 2 birds look in opposing directions. In the profile a second pair of bird heads can be seen in the beak. Hidden/seen, again the dualistic theme. This magical play on the sensibilities is a common aspect of Taino creativity. There are natural linear inclusions in the stone. The piece is in excellent condition. Made of basalt.
