It is an oval wooden vessel with a round base, standing on three wooden legs. Near the large opening is a square protruding handle through which a leather strap is threaded. The vessel is decorated around the opening with triangles pointing downwards. The triangles are roughly hatched with carved lines. The round base and the legs are also painted in a darker colour. A few large triangles with their points facing the opening also protrude from this darker area.
