Clay baboon made and used by young uncircumcised boys as a toy. The dirt material for the clay is collected from termite mounds. It is then ground up with a stick and mixed with water directly on the ground. The clay is moulded into shape with the hands and smoothed with a stick or a shell and is then fired.
