A bowl or container made from the dried, hollowed-out shell of the fruit from the calabash tree (found in the arid regions of Venezuela).
When the fruits of this tree are ready, which you check by seeing if your thumbnail can no longer pierce the skin, you cut the fruit into two halves with a saw. Then you boil these two halves in a pot of water. Finally, you remove the pulp and let it dry. Now the Totuma is ready to be used.

Son, pass me the totuma, my hands are all soapy.
