Water Gourd

This gourd in a strap of rope made from the baobab tree was used to carry water and porridge. It has natural brown colour and is very greasy. It has no stopper and one side is black. The spots on it seem to be natural scratches made on it when it was still green. At the top of the gourd is a rope consisting of 4 skin-ropes and 5 bundles are tied to this rope at various distances, going down.
