This oddly shaped jar, with an elongated neck, was and still is used in the regions of Kurdistan, Afghanistan, for the milking of camels, we find an object, almost similar in some Maghreb countries, but lighter.
Indeed, placed on the thighs and inclined under the udders of the camel, and thanks to its long narrow neck which does not interfere with the animal's thigh and which is high enough to reach the udders, the milking of these animals is ease.
During the war, the Afghans used it to also store gasoline, often, with the nose and the beard of the Russians.
