vessel; pot

It is an oval wooden vessel with a round base, standing on three wooden legs. Near the large opening is a square protruding handle through which a strip of fabric is threaded. The entire outer surface of the vessel is decorated with different patterns. In the upper section, two triangles meet at the top. The triangles are only partially hatched with a grid pattern. This shape is repeated several times around the pot. In the lower section above the legs, a double zigzag line runs around the pot, creating triangles. The round base and the legs are also painted in a darker colour.
