Description:
A woman and a child carrying eleusine coracana (millet) in large open-weave baskets (type known as bangiribambamba, with eye-shaped open weave).
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.
