Gourd decorated with linear pokerwork designs. It has a stopper with an anthropomorphic finial that has its pointed shaft inserted inside the vessel. The finial consists of a head and torso up to the waist. The figure wears a black and white beaded necklace . It has both hands held in front over a bulge as if holding something to its stomach. Around the widest part of the gourd is a panel of lacy beadwork with beaded fringes hanging down and a bunch of metal loops at each side. The panel is tied underneath the object with string and it rests on a ring of wrapped reddened fabric.
