EN: dipper made of coconut shell
The OG, eco-friendly, artisanal tabo. Before the age of brightly colored plastic, this was the go-to dipper. It's got that rustic, provincial, back-to-basics vibe. You'll see this in historical films or maybe in your lola's house in the province. It's the hipster version of the modern tabo.
Combination of 'tabo' (dipper) and 'bao' (coconut shell).
ROOT MEANING: dipper; water scoop
Less common now, often seen as a decorative or traditional item.
