Cursing Stick

Cursing stick made by Kipkandtam of Chumo generation. Hollow bamboo is cut and the mouth shaped. It is cut from the forest by Kipsestin (Sorcerers) themselves, wrapped with cowhide to prevent it from cracking as it is held with high respect or care. It is used to curse animals such as foxes when they cross peoples walking path cutting the path with its claws. It is regarded as a bad omen if the people leave without calling the "Kipses" to curse it the foxes using this stick.
