When woven beer-strainers were used, beer was always strained into a lebetfa (Krige & Krige 1943, fig. 11), but this is no longer done, as beer is now brewed on a much larger scale in tin drums. The lebeda is still made and used for soaking grain, particularly during and just after the reaping season. In June 1976 a number of potters were making them for their own use and for sale, as the demand was great at this time of year. They are usually undecorated except for an incised band below the mouth. Diam.
