Canting

  • often used to refer to a dipper made of coconut shell with a handle that protrudes horizontally
  • any dipper with a relatively small bowl, regardless of orientation of handle
  • may have a hole on one side near the rim if used as a container for holy water so that water can be poured from the hole.
