Hand Carved Teakwood Rice Cutter

This beautifully carved piece of wood was used as a hand-held rice cutter in the rice fields of Lombok. The wood has been worn down with use in places. This simple tool is a wonderful reminder of how beauty can be found in even the seemingly mundane aspects of life.

The handle measures approx 6" long and the body that would have contained the blade measures 5 " across at its widest point.

Though we like to offer only high quality merchandise, because of the nature of old ethnic tools, this item may contain some imperfections. These just add to the character and authenticity of the item.
