This beer container with a smooth surface was made from Simotwo wood by Kiprono, a 25 year old man. The tree is cut with an axe, and then shaped with a panga and a knife hollowed with a six inches nail. The container is used by old men for drinking "Kipketin" (Honey Beer) at beer parties, during ceremonies.
