Description:
Women with large open-weave baskets (type known as bangiribambamba - eye-shaped weave) that are to be filled with beaten eleusine.
This crop was once the most important base for porridge and beer, but has been displaced to some extent by manioc, a highly drought and pest resistent tuber, which is however somewhat less nutrious than flour produced from grain such as eleusine.
