Nakiru and Akure making an atubwa bowl, an ebur oil/fat container and an akaloboch wooden spoon
Nakiru and Akure begin the day by binding camel hide to the ebur container, using strips of doum palm. They then cut and tie on the rest of the object's leatherwork. When finished, they leave the ebur and continue work carving the atubwa. Several holes have appeared which will need filling.
