耳盥（みみだらい）という耳付きの古い漆器椀で婚礼調度の化粧具（歯黒道具）の一つ。嫁入り道具としては質素なしつらえだが凛とした黒の輝きに、持ち主であった女性の秘事を思い描いた。

This is an old lacquerware bowl with grips, one of the cosmetic tools used in wedding ceremonies. The bowl is a modest piece of equipment for a bride, but its dignified black shine reminds me of the secret affairs of the woman who owned it.
