content: Notes by the collector, Emilienne Ireland: The Wauja have traded their large ceramic griddles to other indigenous groups for centuries, so such frames are customarily made whenever the Wauja griddle is transported out of the village. Nowadays, I am told, the preferred padding material is old bicycle tires, though in my case we wrapped the griddle in old pieces of cloth, padded with a thick layer of dried grass.
