Gourd decorated with linear pokerwork designs. It has a stopper with a female 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 red beaded necklace and red, blue and green alternated with white looped beaded earrings. It has both arms held at its sides and slightly bent at the elbow. Around the widest part of the gourd is a panel of lacy beadwork with beaded fringes hanging down and at both sides are bunches of metal rings. The panel is tied underneath the object with string and it rests on a ring of wrapped fabric.
