2 Ekipa Grill Restaurant The ekipa is a traditional ornament of the Kwanyama, a sub-tribe of the Ovambo people who originally lived in Southern Angola. It was also used for trading and therefore spread over large areas including Namibia. The material used for the Omakipa is elephant or hippo ivory, bone, occasionally wood and the fruit of the Makalane Palm [Hypheane petersiana]. The Omakipa were crafted by the men of the tribe. The ivory was cut into chunks, buried in the sand, which was drenched with urine of domestic animals, to soften the ivory and give it a golden brownish colour. For carving, the men used a simple knife (omikonda). The borders were engraved with different geometrical patterns. Then the Ekipa was polished with sandstone and rubbed with an aloe extract and/or dolf-wood [Kiaat - Pterocarpus angolensis] powder (olukulu) to enhance the carved lines. The underside of the Ekipa is mostly smooth and flat or slightly curved with two or four holes so that it could be attached to leather belts. Although the underside of the Ekipa s are normally very plain, there are odd ones that have a number of engravings. Mostly woman wore Ekipa s attached to a leather belt or thong with the number of Omakipa they possessed being an indication of the wealth of their husbands. The Omakipa were passed on from mother to daughter. They were also worn as ornaments around the neck or upper arm. With the influence of the European way of living, traditional dress was slowly replaced by western clothing and the traditional ornaments began to lose their importance. The majority of the Omakipa is nowadays in private collections or being used by jeweller s in Namibia for the creation of jewellery with an African touch. One can only hope that a few collections will remain in Namibia.
