This came from Hawaii, thumb wrapped around a much more significant HLO that I’ll blog about later this week.
Someone – Hawaiian or Chinese, I’m left to assume, since there’s no maker’s mark, wove it together from strips of reed.
The top fits beautifully over the bottom – and resists casual attempts to pull it off: You really have to haul on it to get the halves apart.
It’s empty now – of the beautiful thing it once contained – but full of potential: what else could it hold? How safe will the contents be? Who should see them, and who must not? And when will I fill it? And why?
