B02948 Vessel; pot

It is an oval wooden vessel with a round base. Near the large opening there is a square protruding handle through which a strip of leather is threaded. The entire outer surface of the vessel is decorated with different patterns. Two triangles meet at the top. The triangles are hatched with lines in the upper area and set off with a dark colour in the lower area. This shape is repeated several times around the pot. In the lower area, a zigzag line runs around the pot, again creating triangles. The round base area is a darker colour.
