Khmer potters made many animal-shaped containers and lidded small jars to be used for holding lime paste, one of the ingredients in the betel quid. Made from areca nut and lime paste wrapped in a fresh betel leaf, the betel quid was chewed as a digestive and stimulant, but also had an important role in hospitality to guests and in social and religious rituals. Ceramic containers for lime paste were made in graduated sizes--for use by individuals or larger groups--and glazed with both green and brown glazes.
