It is cut from a single piece and has an oval, stopper-like cover, with a cord loop in the center for raising it. A series of alternately red and black grooves encircle the sides of the body; the crescentic mouth is incised, two beads represent the nostrils, and two incised rings outline the eyes. The mouth, nostrils, and eyes are painted red, the rest of the face showing the natural color of the wood."
