content: Edited film: a gourd is decorated with the delum kum koi design, or "the eyes of the non-initiated." A preliminary sketch of the motif is drawn on the gourd surface and then etched with a number of hot irons. This design is a central motif in gourd decoration and is done exclusively by women in the whole Sara region of southern Chad.
