vessel; milk vessel

The wooden vessel is oval and has a relatively wide opening at the neck, which is slightly offset by carving. There are also two holes in the neck through which leather straps are threaded. The upper end of the leather is wider and therefore cannot pass through the hole. Several dark lines can be seen in the wood below the holes, forming a kind of triangle.
