As snuff-spoons vary a great deal in shape and size it is convenient to divide them into types as shown in Figures 8, 9 and 38. Xhosa According to Kropf (1889: 103) the Xhosa used horn snuff-spoons. No examples were seen in museums or in the field. Thembu The Thembu used horn snuff-spoons (Kay 1833: 290). There are two examples in the Hamilton-Welsh collection: a spatulate snuflF-spoon, decorated with blackened incised designs on the underside of the handle (HW 2119, Umtata, 1917) (Type la) and a snuff-spoon with almond-shaped bowl and thin handle of medium length (HW 2127, Tsomo, 1936) (Type la)..
