Harvesting Tool ( Gamolang di Paque ?)
Text
"These knives are used for cutting the rice. The rice is cut on the stalk about twelve inches long. It is then tied up in bundles and left in the sun to dry: after which it is pounded out either
in a trough or a large wooden mortar. During rice cutting time as well as rice planting time the work is generally accelerated by a man or two playing guitars for the workers. At times even a full orchestra assists. The Filipinos are great lovers of music" (Nathorst) (Catalogue)

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
