Bidspirit auction |  An antique hookah base, and

 An antique hookah base, and from this item I learned that many years ago the hookah body was made on a stencil ... a whole coconut shell !! The metalwork was built on the coconut, and in the end, it remained all it's life, as in this case. If you look inside you see the coconut. Handmade etching and painted, I was tempted to clean it but refrained, height 39 cm, base 19 cm and weight 1.6 kg
