content: Edited film: an old Nalu demonstrates the creation of a winnowing dish. He cuts branches from an oil palm tree, removes the leaf material, and splits the stems into long pieces. From these strips he plaits a mat which eventually becomes the winnowing dish. The finished product is shown in use.
