One by one, the maza begin to unleash their five foot long switches (micere) on the bare flesh of their victims. These whipping wands can be made of several types of wood like that from the dongo or baraza tree, and the Hamar say that at the top of the micere there is "butter and honey" meaning that the use of the micere leads to abundance, well-being, and barjo.
