This oval wooden bowl used by everyone for eating food. A father eating bowl cannot be touched by anyone else. Other eating, vessels are kept under the bed but the father's bowl is stored in an "Asacha" (a hanging pannier cupboard). Such bowls are especially made by men from Masian wood, but "Ayoroi" tree may also be used.
