mouthed water-vessels called #vénang and buah dtlima, the 
latter being also sometimes termed bangkin 
The water gourd is manufactured in two pieces, top and 
lower portion, the parts being carefully joined when the clay 
has dried a little. 
The pértok calls for little attention. It is unornamented. 
The térénang and the buah délima are decorated with 
patterns made with small stamps of bamboo or wood. The 
téy€nang is a storage vessel for drinking water. A small 
pottery plate is often used to cover its mouth and on this 
tests a half-cocoanut-shaped bowl, which is used as a drink- 
ing cup. The buah dtlima fulfils the same purpose as the 
lérvénang, and also frequently has the small cup and plate as 
well as a saucer placed below it, but whereas the trénang 
is a rather pot-bellied vessel with only a slight rim at its 
base, the buah dtlima is taller, not nearly so broad, and has 
a well-developed foot. The name buah dtlima means 
“pomegranate fruit,’ and the vessel certainly has a shape 
approaching that of the fruit. As is well known, and has 
been pointed out by L. Wray, several types of Malay 
little adaptation, used for the same purposes as the cla 
utensils. Thus the clay, or silver, drinking bowl is derived 
from the half cocoanut-shell, still commonly put to this use ; 
the clay water-bottles from two species of gourd and the 
larger types of water-vessel probably from the cocoanut-shell 
water-pot, still commonly used. The pomegranate, however, 
cannot have been turned to any such used,
