The sieve of the Makuwa women (origins and myths) – The strips show the training of the “sieve” during the female initiation. The sieve is a polyvalent instrument. It can be used to wash cereals, for fishing and to carry children. The spirits of the sieve forbid its burning. It is also useful for harvesting and for getting in touch with the divine, for celebrating funerals and officialising oaths.
