@Sheril Umqombothi (African Beer) was also traditionally made by women as part of cooking/food preparation. Once the beer is brewed, it’s stored in decorated clay pots (Ukhamba ). Decorations (beads of clay pressed into pot or patterns etched). This is placed around the waist of the pot, (easier to grip) the pot when it is slippery with beer. Decor around the pot waist represent the female body and may signify the protection of female fertility. #woman #africa #tradition
