The vegetal fibers used in their fabrication are woven very tightly, they are light and extremely durable, and serve as the ideal container for liquids.

Among the Borana, all women are expected to learn to make woven milk containers like the gorfa.

The container and the milk thus symbolize the ideal combination of abundance and fertility, two fundamental requirements for the reproduction and prosperity of the family and community. In this society women produce woven containers and men carve wood containers. Both types of containers may serve the same utilitarian function but they are used in different social settings. There also are containers that have both wood and basketry components and therefore require the work of both a man and a woman, usually a husband and wife or at least members of the family living in the same household. Such containers reflect a fundamental element of Borana culture, a healthy interdependence between the sexes manifest in the complementary roles men and women perform in their families and communities.

Traditional tribal hand-made Ethiopian Borana milk container
Traditional tribal hand-made is Ethiopian milk container. I bought this milk jug in northern Kenya in 1965. It comes from southern Ethiopia. The Borona people are known for their absolutely astonishing hand woven milk jugs. They use different kinds of plant material and tree sap. Look closely and you can see the pattern and technique of braiding they've used. The cowerie shells symbolize fertility. This jug was used in their daily life and is of very high quality.

Ethiopia: Ethiopian Old Tribal Used African Borana belt with beads.
This is a authentic traditional Old Tribal used handmade Ethiopian Borana Authentic belt. Part of the Oromo tribe– Ethiopia’s largest ethnic group– the Borana are estimated to total 500.000, but because many live in remote areas it is hard to know exactly how many exist. Borana speak Oromifa. They are traditionally semi-nomadic pastoralists, who depend exclusively on their livestock for subsistence: Borana make their living by growing and selling cattle and crops, including teff and chatt(a tobacco-like drug) They make most of their domestic goods from wood or skin. The women are independent and equal to men even with building and owning houses. A wife decides who will enter it. And if her husband comes back and finds another man’s spear stuck in the ground outside her house, he cannot go in. There are only about 200 Christians among the ... more150.000 Borana in Ethiopia. Islam has only come to the Borana in the last 100 years. Many Borana have adopted a veneer of Islam over a powerful traditional monotheistic religion. They frequently pray to Waq, the benign god whom they believe"sends the rain and all good things. The main feature of the Borana religion is not just the powerful veneration accorded to their chief religious leaders, but to the very real spiritual power of the Ayana, or spirits, which possess people and things A SUMMARY OF OUR AFRICA-GALLERY SELLING POLICIES The stand is NOT included.
