| dc.description.abstract | This paper investigates the taboos associated with pottery among Babukusu
who predominantly inhabit Bungoma District, Western Kenya. Symbolic analysis is used to
provide insights into how the people themselves conceptualize the relationship of pottery to
cosmology, nature and culture. Specifically, the creation of the universe and human beings,
kinship relations. human fertility and mortality arc all implicated in the manner in which pottery is perceived in this society. | en |
