Description:
A group of women wearing grass waist coverings, seated on the ground around a large roughly circular 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.
