Note: The following text is taken from a 19th-century collection catalog and, in its language and perspective, partially reflects colonial thought patterns. We present the text in its original version to make the collection's history transparent and promote a critical examination of the colonial legacy. Certain terms and formulations may be perceived as problematic today. A 2009 research project concluded that most descriptions are factually correct and still usable; only a few details were found to be inaccurate or incorrect. The results of this project were published in the following collection catalog: khm-wmw-tm-library.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1457155265"170. Water container - "Bempa".Similar in its form to the previous one, low, balloon shaped with a narrow mouth, from fired lower quality, unglazed clay; on the outside it also has pretty relief work but it is less finely worked than the previous one. The large container is surrounded by rattan, the basketry has at the top two handles and is also intended to be carried."Translation of: Czurda, F. A. J. (1883).
