Description
Large bottle shaped gourd, wrapped around the bottom half with two handles made of plant fibre wrapped in hide. There is a hole in the top which has been reinforced with woven plant fibre around the rim. Notes made by the Powell-Cotton sisters suggest that the handle are for tying the gourd to a pole for churning.
