Farms-affiliated traditional tool has a supplemental shaft or handle, which is a hoe specifically constructed for the Khasi tribe of Meghalaya-a hilly state in Northeast India. Setting up by locally available hard wood, ensures durability keeping criterion rough handling in the rugged terrain of the region, where the people wholly do farming.
It allows the farmer to hold it comfortably and then exert a sufficient amount of leverage for weeding, digging, and loosening the soil. On one end, the handle is broken which is yet another sign of being quite old in terms of general wear and tear that is attributed to such continuous usage or else damage by the very harsh conditions of the field. In most cases, one end of a handle would be intended for tang insertion into the iron blade.By serving as tools of comparative functioning in jhum cultivation and terracing, this component demonstrates the ingenuity and innovation of the Khasi people in their farming practices, with a deep-rooted connection with the hills and forests of Meghalaya.
