Barrel-shaped wooden gourd resting on a circular foot decorated with incised brass flower buds or stars.The top is replaced by an incised heck and filter spout, as well as a grip handle 18*29cm.During the time of the Turkish occupation, doctors who went to the front with the army carried small barrels of water or" medical barrels" few of which have survived to this day.
