The young coconut has a horn connection in one of the hole at the top, which has a metal fixing at the tip that has a serrated edge. There is also a protrusion at the top of the coconut for a stem. The stem consists of a clear, glass tube that has cork attached to one end that leads to some carved wood that is covered with white metal. The lower section of wood is bell shaped and has a decorated rim and the top part is roughly cylindrical and has two incised lines around it.
