vessel; pot

It is an oval wooden vessel with a round base. Near the large opening is a square protruding handle through which a leather strap is threaded. The entire outer surface of the vessel is decorated with different patterns. At the top, two triangles meet at their tips. The triangles are hatched with lines at the top and set off with dark colour at the bottom. This pattern is repeated several times around the pot. At the bottom, a zigzag line runs around the pot, creating triangles. The round base is painted in a darker colour.
