Description:

Three women winnowing eleusine coracana (a type of millet crop that also forms the basis of beer-brewing) in a homestead, 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.
