B10557 Calabash

A tall, slightly bulbous calabash with an opening is surrounded at the top and bottom by two rings of leather braiding, which are joined together with further straps of leather and plant fibres in such a way that they enclose the calabash well and allow it to be carried by a leather handle attached to the braiding above the opening.
