content: A GOURD LID, USED AS A COVER FOR THE CARRYING GOURDS. IT HAS A SMALL HOLE IN IT, AND THE TOP COMES TO A FLATTENED KNOB. HAS ORIGINAL PEALE TAG. THIS GOURD SEEMS TO BE A COVER RATHER THAN A GOURD AND IS MOST LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH S.I. #3549. PIILANI, MINNIE AND WILLIAM KAAWALOA, 1985, WROTE THAT THIS WAS ALSO A "UMEKE" USED TO HOLD FRUITS AND FOOD, ALTHOUGH THIS IS DUBIOUS SINCE THE KNOB AT THE TOP WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO BALANCE.
