Description:

A mother suckling a child on her hip, with a woman bruising eleusine with a pestle (wiri sangu) and mortar (sangu) in front of a hut (possibly type known as nanduruge, with woven grass walls). 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.
