The only one of note is cloth weaving in which Uromi and Ohordua women with their UKPON-ODODO were experts. The variety Hand Looms are used. Back then, there were few blacksmiths which confined themselves to sharpening cutlasses and making crude hoes and knives. People around Ughoha and Illushi got most of the agricultural implements from Igbo-Akwa, who not only make excellent cutlasses but nicely manufactured Dane guns. Pottery was made by women in isolated areas like Ibore of Irrua, Uzea, and Idegun in Ugboha etc. Most women of Esan however, get all their cooking pots from Iruekpen where experts of Ozalla and Obhiato come to sell their wares, often exchanging them for coconuts.
