Once the harvesting was completed, women...

Title: Once the harvesting was completed, women...
Description: "Once the harvesting was completed, women used a sharp bamboo (di') to shred the rice grains from the stalk. The grains were first roasted (hawo') and then pounded in a wooden mortar (halu'). These tasks may all have been performed in the fields to economise on time and energy required to carry rice grain back to the house every day."
