caption: Pair of ceremonial drinking vessels of bamboo with incised zigzag line patterns covering the outer surface. Rice-beer is put into both vessels, and the spout of the lower one is raised lowly to the lips. The liquor from the upper vessel runs on to the spout of the lower one and so into the mouth. These vessels are used by the old men when giving their formal blessings at feasts of merit. Ao, Khavi village.
