DescriptionSmall, single person bowl saturated with oil or grease. It is canoelike in shape but also takes on the form of a fish, possibly halibut, with carver non/symmetrical eyes at the front of the bowl. At opposite end is a handle that doubles as the fishes tail. Starting at the eyes and continuing halfway around the bowl, there are diagonal grooves. At the end of these grooves, horizontal grooves start and continue along the rest of the bowl to the tail. More grooving, both horizontal and diagonal continues to extend to the bottom of the bowl.
