Gaara carries around this giant calabash-shaped gourd covered in designs and filled with his chakra-infused sand which he can freely manipulate. The gourd and cork are also made from sand and can be broken down and used to perform techniques as well.[1] Kiba Inuzuka noted that the sand from the gourd has a strong stench of blood, due to the number of people Gaara has killed with it.[2]
