Tools for Preparing Rice

Once rice has been harvested and dried, the lesung
(mortar) and seelu (pestle) is used to separate
the chaff from the grain.

The sinulon, made of weaved bamboo strips, is used to winnow rice.

Traditional Manobo people use a kuden tana (earthen
pot) to cook rice. Kuden literally means “pot,”
and tana means “dirt.”

(Blogger's note: This post is part of a series on items that the Dulangan Manobo people traditionally use in their daily lives. Special thanks to the RNDM nuns assigned in Kulaman Plateau. For more information about the series, read my introductory post or click the label Delesan Menubo below.)
