The vessel is made of abaca pulp dyed with pigments and layered with chalk pastels. The handmade paper scroll on the lid may be used to write a poem, a thought, memory or a prayer. The braid used to fasten the lid to the base is hand woven, the large beads are wooden. The rim on the lid is woven with sea grass and treads, with semi precious stones sewn onto the surface.
