Kajandu
Kajandu (also written kayendo, kajendo, kadiendo, or kadiandou) is a long-handled
furrows. It consists of a long wooden shaft, 1.6–3.5 metres long, and a large flat or concave wooden blade with iron edges. The long shaft rests on the knee and is used to lift up pieces of earth. Typically men use the kajandu while women sow, replant, spread manure and harvest.[1][2][3]
Use of the Kajandu was recorded in 1455[1] and was described in detail in 1685 by Sieur de la Courbe.[4] It is similar to the kop or cop used by the Baga people.[3]
