Carlotta - the museum database
En gammal man gör en golvmatta med "river reed", en "lebinda". Han väter kanterna, böjer de över med en kniv ("disharoo"). Lebinda kan också användas som sädesmagasin. Man gör en ganska stor matta som rullas som en cylinder och fästs mot en mindre, som bildar botten. Förses med lock, tätas med kodynga. Kallas "sheshete". Männen gör dessa mattor medan kvinnorna gör en lite mjukare typ av matta, av papyrus.

Important to know about the information in the online collection databaseUsers of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
