Black body paint container in the shape of a teardrop, made from a palm seed. Geometric designs are carved into the seed. There are two circular indents on the bottom half of the seed, and one circular hole on the other side into which part b fits. There is a line around the middle of the seed, bissecting it, suggesting that these two parts once could come apart. Part b is a small wood stopper with red pigment on one half. Coloured part inserts into the hole in part a.
