Description

brass, min. dam., slight traces of corrosion and abrasion;
the “kuduo” served for keeping gold dust and valuables of any kind as well as for libation and blood sacrifices. A “kuduo” was used, when its owner wanted to “clean his soul”, and was often placed into his grave - a fact which explains its relative rareness.
