(Bio): Liana C.L. Chua, female collector Left in the water; when fish swim through the inner opening they are unable to get out again due to the sharp strips and smaller exit.

Made by the late Jub anak Subah, Kampung Benuk, as a gift to his daughter Midah anak Jub (Sindu Crispin), who in turn donated it to CUMAA. Collected by Liana Chua. Given 09/12/05.
