calabash
Dried gourd vessel
A calabash is the hard-shelled fruit of a tropical vine or tree, dried and hollowed out for use as a container, bowl, or musical instrument.
The plant itself is also called a calabash.
The word extends to any gourd used as a vessel: She dipped water from the calabash.
In some regions, calabash refers to a style of pipe with a curved bowl.
