Document source description
The kovsh is formed as a sandpiper with its head as the prow and its tail serving as the handle. Its beak, head, and neck are decorated with abstract floral motifs in orange, green, violet, and pale blue over a pale mauve ground. Small garnets suggest the eyes. On the body, there are eight oval shapes with schematized blossoms.
