\"tobacco<\/p>\n

This carved wood tobacco container with a stopper, known as dinga gutta<\/i>, was made by the Gond people of India.\u00a0 The Portuguese introduced tobacco to India in 1600, and its use quickly became widespread.\u00a0 This container was likely made to hold snuff, a popular form of finely ground tobacco.\u00a0 It was made in the Bastar District of central India.\u00a0 The Gonds are a group of aboriginal people with a population of over 2 million people.\u00a0 Although some of the population speaks Hindi rather than their native Gondi, the Gond are not beholden to the Hindu caste system or other Hindu restrictions.\u00a0 They practice their own religion which centers on a group of clan or village deities and ancestor worship.<\/p>\n
