This container is made of a hollowed coconut. It has a small opening on top. The coconut is freed from the outer shell with the hair. Then it is smoothed with a knife and polished with a file. This was done by men. The natural texture of the coconut can still be seen. <BR> The coconuts served as storing and transportation vessel for water. Several of them were tied into bundles and carried on a carrying stick. A small piece of wood or coral, which is longer than the opening of the nut is tied at the end of a twisted fibre cord. All the cords are then tied together. <BR> If needed, the opening would be closed with a ball of fibre or a piece of wood.
