5. African women made a beer
of fermented millet for use on
festive occasions. Angas
illustrated the process in a Zulu
homestead at the Tugela River.
"The large earthen jars over the
fire contain the beer which,
after boiling, is set aside for
some days to ferment. One
woman is stirring the millet
with a calabash spoon, while
another is testing its quality in a
little cup; a third woman is
advancing with a basket of
millet on her head, and a fourth
is pouring out the liquor in
waterproof baskets."
