content: Coconut shell water bottle with sennit cord holder and pandanus leaf stopper. Standard object made by everyone. Feinberg suspects they are used less today then in the past, but in 1972 people were still using them. Feinberg suspects this was made for him. (Per curator Joshua Bell; notes from speaking to Feinberg, Aug 16, 2012.)
