This is a wonderful piece of Taino culture. The inhaler is in the shape of a human on one side and a frog on the other side. The Taino face has large moth and eyes, and his pants are designed with triangles and horizontal lines inside. On the top of the head is one hole to put against the pot and each foot has a hole for the two nostrils.
