<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 994154, member: 8267&quot;]The little pots look like they might be made of gourds. There is a natural raised bit in the center of a gourd, which might be emphasized by the method used to clean it out. I can&#039;t tell, though, without being able to see it. I was thinking the string might represent a drinking straw. The Turkana (and the nearby Maasai, who dress similarly) are herding people, and do drink cow&#039;s milk (and sometimes blood), collecting it in gourds. But I could not find evidence of them using some sort of straw.</p><p>How big are these figures?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
