Description:
Women wearing grass waist coverings winnowing eleusine at a feast, using square, flat baskets (kiaga). 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.
