When men carry water the fang'-a or olla is placed directly on the shoulder as are the rocks. When the man is to be away from home over night he usually carries his food and blanket, if he has one, in the waterproof fang'-ao slung on his back and supported by a bejuco strap passing over each shoulder and under the arm.
At all times the woman wears on her head beneath her burden a small grass ring 5 or 6 inches in diameter, called a "ki'-kan." Its chief function is that of a cushion, though when her burden is a fang'-a of water the ki'-kan becomes also a base without which the round-bottomed olla could not be balanced on her head without the support of her hands.
