Manioc Strainer

Traditionally used to strain manioc pulp to remove toxic acid. One loop was hung from a tree branch, and the whole tube twisted to squeeze liquid out.

Collected by Jacob Brno. Brno was a UBC student c. 1972, who gave the manioc strainer to Harry Hawthorn as a gift; Hawthorn then donated it to the MOA collection.

Tubular, lozenge-like vessel woven from thin strips of black and undyed stem (?). One end of the vessel is open, with a woven loop protruding from one side of the rim, while the other end is closed and has a loop bound with twined cord protruding from it.
