The mystic coco-de-mer, from a palm-tree once believed to grow in the depths of the sea, is the largest seed in the plant kingdom. The female tree produces a ''double coconut'' shaped like a female pelvis that can weigh over 50 pounds, making it the largest fruit in the world. The nuts were believed to have healing properties that could be passed on to the water stored inside the vessel.This oval shaped coconut shell pot carried by mendicants has a wooden handle, a brass lid and a cow-head gargoyle from which water can be poured out by tilting the pot.Mendicants used the pot for ablutions and for drinking water. The cow-head gargoyle makes the pot sacred for the Hindus as the water flowing from the cow’s mouth would be considered holy.Condition: Photos are part of the description.
