Description (CMS Description)
Elongated lead-shaped wooden dish carved from a single piece of wood. Three holes have been drilled in the bottom of the dish, probably for display purposes. The wood around these holes is chipped and the bottom has a severe chip. Another hole has been drilled through on one of the narrow points near the end, to receive a vegetable fibre cord, (now missing). At the opposite narrow point a small crack extends inwards from the lip. The lip is chipped in several places.
