Given the importance of hunting, it should not be surprising to see the care given to the accessories of this occupation that is hunting and especially to the powder pears (tutukipfula). These spherical wooden vessels are carved with geometrical, cubist decorations, characteristic of this region and that we find in the body scarifications "mabina". They are provided with a stopper flanked by two hollow lateral fasteners, which a cord passes through, preventing the stopper from falling out and allowing the whole set to be suspended.
The weapons used by hunters in these areas were primarily trade guns. African people who came into contact with Europeans very early on traded not only rifles but also gunpowder and other trade goods.
