Container made of a gourd, rounded and oblong with a relatively wide, round foot. The gourd is covered with basketry, which is itself covered in a thick dark substance. The wooden lid (part b) is carved into 4 creatures, the top being a man with a long head and face, topped by a cylindrical hat. He sits on a horse with a stylized human face. The horse balances on a smaller two legged creature, also with a human-like face, who in turn balances on an even smaller creature with a human-like face, smiling. Beneath the four is the small, round lid and stopper that fits into the mouth of the container. The lid is partly covered by a shiny substance.
