En Afrique du Sud, les boîtes à priser, accompagnées ou non d'une petite cuiller, complètent la panoplie du fumeur ou du priseur. Elles peuvent prendre des formes très diverses selon le matériau utilisé : rondes si elles sont sculptées dans une calebasse, ou allongées - comme ici - lorsqu'elles sont façonnées dans une corne de bovidé.
