This visit was great, we didn’t have to cross the river either. \u00a0Not that crossing the river is bad but sometimes it can be nice to stay dry! \u00a0In this village they have many craftsmen. \u00a0Here Bryan is learning about “banara” (bow and arrow).<\/p>\n

If you look at the banara in the picture below you can see the\u00a0craftsmanship they put on the inside of the banara!<\/p>\n

Next our friend had the opportunity to learn how they make the arrows.<\/p>\n

This piece of grass holds the sharp or pointy part of an arrow to the shaft of the arrow. \u00a0They don’t have feathers, they are simply a straight arrow.<\/p>\n

Just liked this picture and thought I would share<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is the finished product!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Nice job Trav!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

While the men were working on their banara skills a few of us ladies got the chance to see one of the men work on “bilas” or\u00a0jewelry.<\/p>\n

These are earings ready to be sealed and finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can see the cow bones next to the newspaper in the picture above. \u00a0That’s what they us for the white looking\u00a0jewelry. \u00a0The darker looking kind is from some sort of a seed.<\/p>\n

Here the man is working on a neckless. It is in the shape of a dolphin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The cow bone jewelry takes a hand crank to smooth it out and make it take shape.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We feel very\u00a0privileged\u00a0to get the opportunity to see this\u00a0craftsmanship\u00a0at work. \u00a0Banara’s are used by many men today. \u00a0The size you saw Bryan using is more for play. \u00a0Our security men on this center however use rather large banara’s. \u00a0It makes me feel safe! \u00a0They use them for hunting pig, birds, and even men. \u00a0Hope you enjoyed another amazing time in the villages!<\/p>\n
