CLUB LIKE UTENSILS NON WEAPONS

VANDOO · 31st October 2013, 03:52 AM

WE COVERED THESE IN ANOTHER POST BUT THERE ARE NO PICTURES HERE I WILL INCLUDE SOME. I CONTINUE TO SEE THESE SOLD REGULARLY ON EBAY AS WAR CLUBS. THE AGITATOR IS THE STICK WITH THE PLUNGER THAT IS PUSHED IN AND PULLED OUT TO CHURN THE MILK AND CAUSE THE BUTTER TO SEPARATE.
#1. TRADITIONAL EITHOPIAN BUTTER CHURN AGITATOR 19 INCHES LONG.
#2. & 3 ANOTHER BUTTER CHURN AGITATOR
#4. ANOTHER AGITATOR
# 5 & 6. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE IT WAS LISTED AS A KNOBKERRY AND IS 29.5 X 8 INCH IN DIAMETER. I THINK IT MAY BE A THROWING CLUB BUT DOES RESEMBLE THE AGITATORS

HERE ARE A FEW MORE TOOLS THAT RESEMBLE WEAPONS.
1. PICTURE OF INDONESIAN WEAVING SHUTTLES 120 CM. LONGEST.
2. THREE PICTURES OF A GROUP OF WHAT ARE DESCRIBED AS ROLLERS FOR WEAVING BAMBOO 57 CM LONG FROM LOMBOK. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE TECKNIUE BUT THEY ARE CLUB LIKE.

#1.THIS WAS SOLD AS A OLD RICE BEATER FROM BALI, 36 CM. LONG, WOOD.
#2 & #3. A SIMILAR WOODEN ITEM SOLD AS A WAR CLUB RECENTLY, 39 CM.
LONG.

OFTEN THE FORMS OF COMMON UTENSILS USED FOR THE SAME TASKS
EVOLVE BASICALLY THE SAME OVER A WIDE AREA. THERE MAY BE
DIFFERENCES IN DECORATION BUT OFTEN THE FORMS ARE VERY MUCH ALIKE.

The piece in the first picture is described correct, it's indeed a rice beater from Bali.

The rice beater reminded my wife of the paddle her grandmother used to scoop and scrape butter from the bowl it would have been separated in, and to shape it to fit into a container.
