content: Notes by the collector, Emilienne Ireland: Low-fired clay, red slip exterior, interior painted with a mixture of juice of a vine, soot, and water. Griddle used to make the traditional manioc flatbread (ulépe) that is the staple of every meal. No meal is complete without ulépe. Such griddles are standard in every Wauja home, and are kept in the central heath between the front and back doors. The Wauja call manioc griddles "our mother," because they feed everyone. Made in Piyulwene and purchased from Atapucha Waura at Pavuru (Ikpeng) village during an intertribal festival in September 2015.
