Utensils for rice preparation
| Description: |
Young Nepalese girls and boys learn important adult activities through their playtime activities, using child-sized versions of the utensils and tools used by their parents. These miniature rice-processing utensils include a tikki and urjel, which are equivalent to a mortar and pestle. These utensils would pound the rice for cereal grain. The lushi is a rod-like tool with flared ends used to de-hull the rice. |
