A dhiil is a vessel used to carry milk. This example is decorated with cowrie shells, but they vary considerably in shape, style, and purpose. Comparing some of the 3D objects digitised by the Nomad archive illustrates this variety well: they range from this woven dhiil to this wooden version, a similar shape to the one collected by Robecchi Bricchetti.
