Description (CMS Description)
Large drinking cup for yaqona made from half a coconut shell. The surface is very polished and smooth inside with a yellow-ish patina covering most of the surface. The outer surface has been polished. It is very scratched, the scratches running horizontally along a 4.7 cm high band from the lip, then vertically to the bottom of the cup. The protruding bottom formed by the three ridges of the coconut shell is pierced (no cord). The lip is lightly chipped in two places. On the outer surface, 'Z.3419' inscribed in white ink at the bottom of the dish and along the lip. '119' inscribed in orange crayon near the lip. A small rectangular cream label pasted near the lip reads [printed in black ink:] '400'.
