Description
Mapuche, Chile Pipe 1200–1700 AD Made of polished grey-beige stone, oblong in shape, ending in an anthropomorphic face and resting on a wooden base. H. 6.5 cm W. 13.5 cm Provenance: > Jacques-André Cronier Collection Bibliography: > Thomaston Auction, Thomaston, 11 November 2018, lot 1507, comparable example Among the Mapuche of southern Chile and neighbouring regions, tobacco and smoking have held a social and, in certain contexts, ritual significance. The pipe is not merely a domestic object: it can play a role in social interaction, exchange, negotiated speech, and even in practices of symbolic mediation. The circulation of smoke thus forms part of a relationship between the body, the breath, speech and the invisible.
