Body Paint Container2814/38 a-b

There are two circular indents on the bottom half of the seed, and one circular hole on the other side into which part b fits. There is a line around the middle of the seed, bissecting it, suggesting that these two parts once could come apart. Part b is a small wood stopper with red pigment on one half. Coloured part inserts into the hole in part a.
