Fun Fact<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<\/header>\r\n
\r\n\r\nA fun fact on my wooden bowl is that it was made by men in the community. While other bowls in the area during this time were made by women because they are ceramic. Wooden bowls were done by men woodworking, it was considered a traditional craft for men. Until the rise of Christian missionaries in the area influenced men in different ways that took time away from traditional crafts (like bowl making).\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\nStoryMap<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
