Description
basalt, base
Bark-cloth beaters, used to create a type of “fabric” for costumes and decorations, were traditionally crafted from either stone or wood. They were long and cylindrical in shape, with the upper half carved with parallel or cross-hatched grooves. Strips of bark from paper mulberry or hibiscus plants were pounded against a flat board or a stone, gradually thinning and stretching the material until it resembled cloth.
