Iteso Traditional Utensils and crafts

Men and women had different duties to perform in the home or community. This meant therefore that each had different equipments to use. The women's utensils included baskets, gourds, calabashes, winnowing trays, grinding stones, pots, brooms, pestles and mortars, ekigo (ladle for stirring millet) and eitereria (the fishing basket). The men's utensils included spears, hoes, clubs, arrows, bows and all the instruments which had to do with brewing and drinking.

#Traditional_Food
The Iteso had a number of foods. Millet was their staple food. Other varieties included pumpkins, wild berries, groundnuts, peas, beans, meat of both domestic and wild animals, milk, butter and fish. The men were not allowed eat with women. They ate separately seated on stools, tree stumps or stones. Millet was served on one plate which would be shared communally. The women sat on mats in a circle around the food. It was considered good manners to join the circle whenever one was invited to partake of a meal.
