content: Notes by the collector, Emilienne Ireland: Low-fired clay, red slip exterior, interior painted with a mixture of juice of a vine, soot, and water. "Canoe container" (ítsakána). A pot of this size might possibly be used for cooking something very small, such as fish liver (a delicacy that cooks up into an oily sauce that is ideal for dipping manioc bread). Normally, however, a dish of this size is typically used for seasonings, such as salt, crushed peppers, or a mix of the two.
