This Tutsi milk jug cover stands out due to its wooden construction, unlike the woven ones typically seen. Crafted from the same material as the jug, it features a vertical piece of metal affixed to it, a practical solution to prevent leaks. This metal reinforcement was likely added after the cover developed a crack, a common practice to preserve the functionality of such items—similar to how cracks in the jugs themselves are treated. Displaying this unique wooden cover alongside other woven ones highlights both its beauty and the ingenuity behind its preservation.
