👉 Burins are small, cylindrical objects used in ancient times for transporting goods or carrying water and other liquids. They were often made of wood, leather or a mixture of these materials. The shape of a burin is usually rectangular, with a pointed tip that could be used to cut through material. Some burins were also decorated with designs or inscriptions, such as the "burin" (the blade) and the "spear" (the handle).
