DescriptionFor lime used with betel nut. Brown gourd case bottom attaches to a dark wood top which slopes in a bell shape where the two materials meet. There is a carved rounded wood band that protrudes slightly. Lid on top has a carved handle with a slot in the middle. The rounded3 lid slopes downward and does not cover the whole surface of the top, nor is the space left around it in uniform size. The lid has a peg which inserts into a hole in the top wood section to keep it in place. The wood is whiter and powdery here.
