英文說明:This winnowing sieve is plaited of thin bamboo strips. The bamboo around the opening is coarser, and two bamboo sticks are inserted into the body of the sieve to support the sides of the opening. This prevents the strips from falling off. Wicker bark or iron wire was used to bind the sieve for additional stability. These two sieves show damage around the openings. These could be repaired. Such winnowing baskets were used to scoop up cereals, and were very common among farm families. There are portions missing from these examples.
