Abstract:
Zwei Männer aus Quebrada Taparral fällen einen Baum, hacken ein Stück heraus und tragen es nach Hause. Sie schlagen den Stamm, lösen die Rinde und trennen die Borke von der weißen Bastschicht, die sie mit einem Schlegel auf einem Holzblock klopfen, in einem wassergefüllten Kanu waschen und treten, dann auswringen, ausbreiten, säubern und trocknen lassen.
Abstract:
Two men are making bark cloth which will be used later for sleeping on. After the swarch for an appropriate tree, which they located up a steep slope some considerale distance away from the setttement, the tree is felled and a log of suitable size is cut and brought back to the house. The two men then pound the log with crude, short limbs of a tree in order to loosen the bark on the log. They then make incisions along the centre of the lengthwise, and around the log near its ends, and in this way they can separate the bark from the tree. After this has been done the outer bark is separated from the inner bark, which is whitish in colour, an the inner bark is pounded over a diagonally placed log by both men using a special heavy mallet with an incised inner surface. This pounding quite a long time. When it is completed the bark a laid in a submerged canoe, washed in the water and trodden on by the men`s feet. After this washing both men squeeze out the water from the bark, twisting the ends of the bark in opposite directions. The bark, now pounded and washed, is then stretsched out on grassy ground to dry in the sun, the rough spots having been carefully removed. The bark eloth is now completed.
