Description | Roof-shaped. From the longer and straight edges of the rim hyperbolic curves bound the long sides. These curves are separated at the crest by a groove which widens to form the hollowed shorter ends and end in convex curves at the rim. The hollow interior of the bailer follows the form of the outside. A twisted cord, perhaps sinew, passes through a hole at the crest of the hyperbolas. |
