Description:
A group of women at a feast wearing grass waist coverings, working around a large amount of eleusine, beating it with sticks.
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.
