content: Collector's notes: "This bucket is made from an innertube with wooden cross bars on top to raise the water from the well. Much water must be raised in this manner to care for the camels and sheep, as well as for human consumption. Almost all Bedouin now have tank trucks and so no longer need this equipment.

content: Pieces of rubber, stitched together with cotton yarn to make a flexible bucket. Two short pieces of wood crossed and tied together with plastic twine, and tied to the rim to form a handle. Very dirty.
