Ladle (Ompamba Komeya)
Made from calabash gourd (Lagenaria siceraria, also known as "bottle gourd"), in Owambo societies similar objects were (and in some cases still are) used to serve and drink beverages and as a ladle to prepare and serve plant-derived edible and cosmetic oils such as the marula oil, which is the main feature of the Marula Festival held every year in the Owambo region of Namibia.
