Standing at a height of 9 cm, this intricately carved piece is made from manatee bone and holds immense cultural significance.

The Cohoba Inhaler was used by the Taino people for spiritual purposes, particularly in their ritualistic ceremonies involving cohoba, a hallucinogenic substance derived from certain plants.
