WOODEN GRAIN MEASURER

This vintage collectible was traditionally used for grain measurement, especially in rural regions. It was also used to measure paddy after the harvest. Back in those days, after a good harvest, one or more paras (measures) of rice were offered at temples as a sign of gratitude. This antique grain measurer is made of jackfruit tree wood and is decorated with brass embellishments. The ring attached to the side of the measure allowed easy carrying.

Also called para in local language will lend a unique traditional beauty to your home interior. You can also use this antique grain measurer as a planter, storage vessel, or container for dried herbs or trinkets.
