A bucket, also called a pail, is a watertight, vertical cylinder or truncated cone, with an open top and a flat bottom, usually attached to a semicircular carrying handle called the bail. Their main purpose is the carrying of water, but they may also have other purposes. Elaborate ceremonial or ritual buckets in bronze, ivory or other materials are found in several ancient or medieval cultures and are known by the Latin for bucket, situla. Other buckets include those attached to Loader (equipment) and Telehandler for agricultural and earthmoving purposes. They can also be used to transport items other than water such as sand, rocks, and fish.
