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. "Crab container" (yelátukána). A dish of this size is typically used for seasonings, such as salt, crushed peppers, or a mix of the two. Note this crab has 12 legs, and strangely, a tail… However, I have no doubt that yelatu refers to "crab" and that this is a yelatukana. Perhaps the crab simply has 13 (i.e., "many") legs, and none of them is a tail. Made by Manataku. From field label: "#39. Yelatukana; Manataku; acq. 12/82"
