Fibre of "Tabar" plant are striped and woven with "Kapserben" fibres and the correct shape is carried by skillful sowing. A loop is sown on for holding it when drinking from it and a leather handle is sown on for carrying and storing purposes. Made and used by Chelimo Chepsergon for drinking honey beer from it. It had patches of cobwebs hence not in recent use.
