oil vessel

Vessel for storing oil made of a rattan weave covered with dark clay. The shape is bulbous, with a narrow vertical opening in the centre of the top, which in turn has a clearly offset horizontal rim for pouring. The vessel stands on a basket ring woven from rattan strips, from which eight vertical rattan struts extend. Four of these are longer and form two handles by crossing over the opening. At the top of the vessel, a horizontal band of rotang connects the eight vertical struts all the way round.
