The kara orovi we cut off the wild banana plant. This wild banana is black, we call it orovi. Then we carry it home, and then scrape it with a shell. After having scraped it, we put it into the sun so that it dries. When it is dry, we roll it up, preparing for weaving mats. Then we weave this orovi into the mat.
