fat container with lid

The base is a light-coloured horn that is slightly curved. It has a leather cap at both ends. Both caps have slits through which a leather strap is pulled twice. Beads (dark, one light) prevent the strap from slipping out at the bottom. The ends are knotted at the top, and a metal bead is used. An additional hanging loop is attached to the top.
