Description: | Water or wine bottle made from pigskin, bound at the bottom and with two protrusions. The top of the bottle has been gathered, with a lighter piece of leather covering the join of leather and wood for the spout. The spout is long and cylindrical with a raised band that has cork in one side to make a tighter seal around the wooden stopper. The stopper is made of turned wood with three incised bands on the top section, which also has another piece of wood inserted through. There is a hole in the lower part of the stopper.
