Description

Lower half of a coconut. The shell is thin, finely abraded and blackened. The rim of the opening slopes inward. Below the rim, the wall bends outward and slopes steeply to the lower tip, which is carved on the outside right and left so that it appears elongated. A twisted thread is pulled through a hole drilled through it. Interior as well as exterior surface are heavily tarnished white in places. Otherwise light grains. A semicircular black grain runs around the tip. The border has a crack going inwards which ends in an oval hole in the bowl.
