Circular gourds with flattened bodies are often described as pilgrim gourds. They are sometimes adorned with loops for attaching a rope to carry them.
This one is decorated with a figure wearing a complex tripartite headdress on one side and a double one on the other. One side features a flowering branch on the left of the figure holding a bouquet in his right hand. On the other, the figure holds a ewer adorned with red pompons. Each is wearing an aubergine-colored shalwar and a broad blue jacket.
Reassembled with a metal element, it was probably used as a suspension element.
