The circular flat wooden carved bowl is decorated with seven mother-of-pearl inlays on the rim and a star-shaped mother-of-pearl inlay centered on the bottom of the bowl. The bowl was given a coat of ochre earth mixed with chicken blood and coconut oil. For suspension, a cord made of coconut fiber is pulled through a hole made at the bottom. Bowls of this type were used to serve food such as taro, yams or breadfruit.
