feather box
The bowl with a lid is fitted with carved, head-shaped handles at either end, which morph into arms across the girth of the bowl. The richly carved patterns on the sides and bottom of the bowl symbolise the ribs of the two figures that represent ancestors or specific deceased relatives.
